What should you check before ordering?
Start with the number and size of portions, then compare the tonic's label and flavour before setting your delivery substitution preferences.

What to check |
Your needs |
| Pack format |
Read the full expression, such as 12 × 150ml, rather than relying on the multipack picture. Check whether the portions are cans or bottles and compare the total volume. |
I want 12 separate portions for planned drinks, not an eight- or 15-pack that changes how many I receive. |
| Sugar and ingredients |
Compare sugars and energy per 100ml, then read the sweetener ingredients. Joybuy lists Schweppes Slimline at 0g sugars and 2 kcal per 100ml; it contains aspartame and a source of phenylalanine. A light name alone does not establish zero sugar: Joybuy lists 3.8g sugars per 100ml for Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light Premium Indian. |
Zero sugar may matter to me, but I also need to check whether the specific sweetener suits my requirements. |
| Flavour |
Identify the named tonic style rather than assuming every mixer tastes alike. Fever-Tree describes Indian, Mediterranean, aromatic and elderflower tonics; Fentimans lists herbal infusions, Sicilian lemon oil and lemongrass extract for its Premium Indian. |
For my intended spirit or alcohol-free drink, I would choose the flavour style before settling for a different tonic solely to get 12 portions. |
| Substitutions |
Review the retailer's substitution setting and any order note. Tesco allows substitute preferences; Sainsbury's says it may offer a substitute unless you ask it not to. Check the delivered product's pack count, flavour and ingredients. |
If a different formulation or pack size will not work for my planned serves, I want to specify an acceptable alternative or request no substitute. |

Questions about mixer delivery
Which tonics come in 12 × 150ml packs?
Tesco and Sainsbury's have listed Schweppes Tonic Water and Schweppes Slimline Tonic Water in 12 × 150ml packs. Check the listing for your delivery postcode and confirm the pack size in your basket.
How do I choose between regular and Slimline Schweppes?
Choose regular Indian tonic if that is the flavour and formulation you want; choose Slimline if its listed 0g sugars per 100ml is the deciding feature. Joybuy lists Slimline at 2 kcal per 100ml and identifies aspartame and a source of phenylalanine, so read its ingredient label as well.
What if I want Fever-Tree rather than exactly 12 portions?
Compare the named tonic style and the full pack size before ordering. Tesco's cited listings include Fever-Tree options in 8 × 150ml and 15 × 150ml formats, which do not provide the same number of portions as a case of 12.
Can I refuse a different mixer delivered as a substitute?
Tesco says shoppers can set substitute preferences or leave a note, and can hand an unwanted substitute back to the driver or collection colleague for a refund. Sainsbury's says it may offer substitutes unless you ask it not to and allows an item to be refused at delivery. Check the replacement's pack count, flavour and ingredients before accepting it.
Does someone need to receive a Sainsbury's grocery delivery?
Yes. Sainsbury's says you or someone aged 18 or over on your behalf must be available to receive, inspect and sign for the grocery order; it says the goods cannot be left unattended.
