Every bottle of Fentimans’ botanically brewed tonic water takes you on a tantalising flavour adventure, and the Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water that we sent our members in their July 2020 Gin of the Month box is no different. With its crisp and delectably dry yet fruity pink citrus flavour, it’s one of our favourite mixers!

Join us as we discover just what makes this delicious tonic such a spectacular summer tipple. But first, a fantastic drink to mix up when the sun comes out!

A Taste Of Paradise

When Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water hit the shelves in 2016, it didn’t take long for it to become a smash hit with gin fans all over Britain – much like the rest of their range including Rose Lemonade and Valencian Orange Tonic Water.

From their Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water’s subtle pink colour to its sweet-yet-zesty flavour profile, this instantly loveable tipple was crafted with balmy summer days in mind.

How exactly did the folk at Fentimans manage to capture the season of sunshine in liquid form?

Well, you have to start by sourcing the right and highest quality botanical ingredients. 

“Our Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water is crafted using our very own botanical base, combined with ruby red grapefruit from Florida. It’s Florida’s subtropical climate, abundant rainfall and sunshine which helps grow the sweetest and juiciest grapefruits in the world,” explains Andrew Jackson of Fentimans.

The drink is finished by the addition of warming notes of orange, sourced from the beautiful Mediterranean city of Valencia. Valencian oranges are characterised by their sweetness and depth of flavour, which when freshly squeezed, results in a distinctive and vibrant coloured juice.

Fentimans brings these ingredients together with the utmost attention to quality and the result is the elegantly crafted mixer that our members are discovering in their July 2020 Gin of the Month box. It’s absolutely fantastic when combined with flavours of pineapple and lime in our July 2020 Perfect G&T!

So what does Andrew think is the reason behind the Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water’s popularity? “Well, it’s a deliciously flavoured tonic that is refreshingly dry and crisp,” muses Andrew. “It contains no artificial sweeteners, flavourings and preservatives, which is important to a lot of us, and we believe improves the flavour. And then it has versatility - it can be mixed with gin to bring a whole new dimension to the classic G&T, or with vodka for a refreshing and zesty long drink!” (Not to mention fantastic gin cocktails like the one we’ve shared above, of course!)

Alongside other amazing summer flavours from Fentimans - Valencian Orange Tonic Water, Elderflower & Rose Tonic and Connoisseurs Tonic Water are particular favourites here at Craft Gin Club – Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water is perfect for sunny days, especially in the refreshing Spritz recipe below!
