Tonic and mixer brand, Lixir, has announced its certification as a B Corporation, the first of its category in the UK to reach this status. 

Players big and small are benefiting from a rise in demand for premium products in this mixer category.

London Essence has announced the launch of five of its mixers in the UAE, distributed by Dubai Refreshment Company.

Fentimans is to replace 125ml mixer bottles with a new range of 200ml mixers, as the premium mixer brand aims to “tap into the growing popularity for long mixed drinks”.

The continued premiumisation of tonic has changed the level of expectation consumers have for simple serves such as the G&T.

It’s a widely underestimated component of the classic gin mix, but tonic water is gaining ground when it comes to premiumisation. Hamish Smith reports
