For individual drinks alongside festival food, start by considering 150ml tonic portions rather than searching only for mini bottles: Tesco lists 150ml multipacks from Fever-Tree and Schweppes, and Fever-Tree describes its cans as suitable for use on the go. Choose between regular and light or slimline tonic by checking the exact flavour, ingredients and nutrition label; if you prefer glass, check the festival’s entry rules before packing it.
A 150ml portion lets you open one mixer for a drink without carrying a larger opened bottle. Tesco lists tonic multipacks in this size from Fever-Tree and Schweppes; check the container material against your event’s rules.
Fever-Tree says its Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic has 50% fewer calories than its regular Indian tonic, but lists fructose among the light version’s ingredients. Check the label of the exact variant rather than treating “light” as a promise that it contains no sugar.
Fentimans describes its Premium Indian Tonic as containing Sicilian lemon oil, lemongrass and herbal infusions. Its suggested gin serve uses 200ml of tonic, so consider both the flavour and the portion you want to carry.
Start with the portion and container your event permits, then choose the tonic style and check the exact pack label.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Check the volume of each unit and the number in the pack. Tesco lists 150ml tonic multipacks from Fever-Tree and Schweppes; Fentimans’ published gin serve uses 200ml of tonic. | I would rather open one small mixer for each drink than carry a larger bottle after opening it. |
| Container | Confirm whether the exact pack contains cans or bottles, and read the named festival’s current entry rules before taking glass. | If my event restricts glass, the container matters as much as the size printed on the pack. |
| Tonic flavour | Check the named variant rather than relying on the brand alone. Fentimans lists lemon oil, lemongrass and herbal infusions in its Premium Indian Tonic; regular, Mediterranean and slimline products are distinct variants. | I want the mixer’s flavour to suit the drink I am making, whether I prefer a familiar tonic or a more noticeable botanical blend. |
| Ingredients and nutrition | Read the ingredients and nutrition information for the exact pack. Fever-Tree says its Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic has 50% fewer calories than its regular version, but its light tonic ingredient list includes fructose. | When choosing a light or slimline tonic, I want to know what the label actually says rather than assume the variants have the same formulation. |
A bottle-only search can overlook 150ml tonic cans. Tesco lists small multipacks from Fever-Tree and Schweppes, while Fever-Tree describes its cans as suitable for use on the go.
Search by portion size as well as container type, then check what the exact pack contains.
A relative calorie claim does not tell you everything about a tonic’s formulation. Fever-Tree lists fructose in its Refreshingly Light Indian Tonic.
Read the ingredients and nutrition panel for the particular flavour and pack you plan to buy.
A drink in glass may be unsuitable for a festival that restricts glass containers, regardless of its portion size.
Check the organiser’s current entry terms before choosing a glass-bottle mixer.
These brand examples help distinguish formats and tonic styles; a brand’s wider range does not establish what is in a particular pack.
