For mixers going into a festival campsite, check the event’s container rules before choosing a glass bottle. ArcTanGent prohibits glass and says it will be confiscated, while Tiree Music Festival requires campers’ drinks to be in plastic bottles or cans; individually portioned cans are a practical choice where the named event permits them. A glass-bottle mixer remains an option for use outside the restricted site or where the event’s current rules expressly allow glass.
Container material matters before flavour when you are taking mixers onto a campsite. ArcTanGent prohibits glass, and Tiree Music Festival specifies plastic bottles or cans for campers’ drinks; check the rules for your own event.
An 8 × 150ml or 12 × 150ml pack lets you count out portions before packing, rather than carrying one larger container. Check the stated container material as well as the pack size.
Regular and lighter tonic labels can differ. Tesco’s listings for Fever-Tree Premium Indian and Refreshingly Light Indian tonic give 8.0g and 3.8g sugars per 100ml respectively, so compare the exact products you intend to take.
Start with the festival’s container rules, then choose a pack size and recipe that suit the drinks you plan to make.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Container rules | Read the named festival’s current campsite and entry rules. ArcTanGent prohibits glass; Tiree Music Festival requires campers’ drinks to be in plastic bottles or cans. | I need to carry my mixers through the entrance, so I will choose a container the event permits rather than assume a glass bottle is acceptable. |
| Portions | Check the container material, number of drinks and millilitres per portion. An 8 × 150ml pack and a 12 × 150ml pack contain different total volumes. | For a few mixed drinks at camp, I would rather pack individual portions than carry a larger opened bottle. |
| Recipe | Compare the exact tonic’s energy, sugars per 100ml, ingredients and sweetener information. Tesco’s listed Fever-Tree Premium Indian and Refreshingly Light Indian tonics have different sugar values. | If I want the lighter recipe, I need to check the label instead of assuming every can from the same brand is alike. |
| Mixer flavour | Decide whether the planned drink calls for tonic water or another mixer, such as ginger ale. Check the product name rather than treating them as interchangeable. | I want to pack a mixer that matches the drinks I intend to make, without carrying an unnecessary variety. |
ArcTanGent says glass will be confiscated, while Tiree Music Festival has a strict no-glass policy. A mixer in glass may therefore be unusable for the campsite you intended to visit.
Check the specific event’s current written rules before packing. Where cans or plastic bottles are permitted instead, choose the allowed format.
