With so many exciting gin launches hitting the market this spring, it’s easy to forget about the tonic, but the truth is, you can’t make a good G&T without it.

For those times when a supermarket soda won’t cut it, Artisan has created a range of craft tonics and mixers, made with natural quinine and infused with fruits, flowers and botanicals, which guarantee to do that bottle of Four Pillars Gin justice.

Launching this summer is Agave Lemon, a sharp bitter lemon tonic made with fresh chilli, agave and rock salt, designed to add a spicy Mexican hit to tequilas and gins. Also new is Pink Citrus, a fresh, zesty tonic made from pink grapefruit, blood orange and basil, transforming your gin or vodka drink into a fancy-sounding cocktail.

The two new mixers join the established range, which includes a violet, elderflower and apple blossom tonic and a barrel smoked cola.

Artisan mixers are priced at $10.99 for a 4-pack and available to buy from select premium bottle shops and boozebud.com.au.
