Choose 150ml tonic multipacks when you want to plan individually portioned drinks; check the container type if the brief specifically asks for bottles. Fentimans lists a 200ml individual tonic format for a larger serve or bottled presentation, while standard and lighter tonics should be ordered as distinct options with their current labels available to catering staff.
Individual portions make it possible to plan one mixer for each intended drink without relying on an open shared bottle. Check whether the station needs 150ml cans or bottles rather than ordering by volume alone.
Keep each variant identifiable at the point of service and retain its current ingredient and nutrition information. A lighter variant should not be assumed to have the same formulation as a standard tonic.
Fentimans lists Naturally Light Tonic Water in 200ml and 4 x 200ml formats. Confirm the bottle material and the exact pack before ordering if the presentation brief calls for glass.
Tesco Groceries lists Fever-Tree and Schweppes 150ml tonic multipacks, while Fentimans lists a 200ml Naturally Light format. Set the intended serve and container type first, then choose the tonic variant.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Serve size | Compare 150ml single-serve multipacks with the 200ml Fentimans format. Fever-Tree gives a serving example of 50ml spirit with 150ml mixer; check your planned drinks before using that ratio. | For a station serving one mixer with each drink, I want a portion I can count when planning quantities. A larger poured serve may call for the 200ml format instead. |
| Container | Confirm whether the exact variant comes in a can or bottle, and check the bottle material if the brief specifies glass. Pack volume alone does not establish the presentation. | The client has asked for individual bottles, so a compact 150ml pack will only work if its actual container meets that brief. |
| Tonic choice | Order standard and lighter variants as separate products. Compare current nutrition information per 100ml and the volume served; each brand's percentage reduction uses its own named baseline. | I want guests to be able to distinguish the tonic options without treating two brands' lighter-product claims as a like-for-like comparison. |
| Ingredients | Check the exact product's current ingredients, including quinine where relevant. Keep product labels accessible for the catering team; the Food Standards Agency says food businesses must provide allergen information and follow applicable labelling rules. | Guests and staff need a way to check what is in each mixer, particularly if drinks are removed from their original packs for service. |
A 150ml single serve and a 200ml individual bottle do not necessarily meet the same presentation brief.
Write both volume and container type on the order, then confirm them against the exact product.
Fever-Tree describes one Refreshingly Light tonic as having 46% fewer calories than its Premium Indian Tonic Water. Fentimans describes Naturally Light as having 30% fewer calories than its own Premium Indian Tonic Water. Those are different comparison products.
Use the current per-100ml nutrition panels and planned serving volumes for a product comparison, while keeping each maker's claim tied to its stated baseline.
The Food Standards Agency says catering businesses must provide allergen information. GOV.UK and Food Standards Agency event guidance also recommends keeping packaging so people can check ingredients.
Keep the current labels accessible for every mixer variant served, including any drinks poured away from the original pack.
The ingredient list for Fever-Tree Naturally Light Tonic Water identifies quinine. A general category or collection label is not a substitute for the ingredients of the exact product being served.
If avoiding quinine is part of the brief, check the selected product's current ingredient list before ordering.

Choose a 150ml format when the planned drinks call for compact, individually counted mixer portions; choose an individual 200ml bottle when bottle presentation or a larger poured serve is part of the brief. Fentimans lists a 200ml Naturally Light format, while Tesco Groceries lists Fever-Tree and Schweppes 150ml tonic multipacks. Confirm the exact container before ordering.
Yes, if the variants are ordered and identified separately at service. Fever-Tree and Fentimans each describe lighter tonics relative to their own named standard products, so their percentage-reduction claims are not a direct comparison between the two brands. Check current nutrition panels and serving volumes if those details matter to the choice.
Keep the current packaging or its ingredient information accessible when serving the mixers. The Food Standards Agency says catering businesses must provide allergen information, and GOV.UK and Food Standards Agency event guidance recommends retaining packaging so attendees can check ingredients.
In England and Wales, GOV.UK says a Temporary Event Notice is needed for licensable activities such as selling alcohol on unlicensed premises or serving alcohol to members of a private club on unlicensed premises. Check the venue's existing permissions and the planned activity with the venue or local authority; this guidance does not establish the position in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
Check the current ingredient list for the exact product, rather than relying on a category name. The listed ingredients for Fever-Tree Naturally Light Tonic Water, for example, include quinine.
