Who is buying for the office?

Managers stocking individual serves

A 12 x 150ml pack gives staff separately portioned mixer units rather than a large bottle to open and share. Tesco lists both Schweppes Slimline and standard tonic in this pack size.

Teams wanting a no-sugar tonic

Schweppes Slimline offers a no-sugar option for the snack area. Its label lists aspartame and quinine, so check the ingredients before making it the office’s tonic choice.

Workplaces stocking drinks alongside water

Mixers can be an optional snack-area drink, but not a replacement for the adequate, accessible supply of wholesome drinking water required under the workplace regulations for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

What should you check before ordering?

Start with the pack count and serving size, then compare the nutrition and ingredient labels for the exact tonic you intend to stock.

Priority What to check Your needs
Individual serves Confirm 12 units of 150ml each, giving 1.8 litres in total. Check whether the listing specifies cans or bottles if the container matters. I want unopened portions that people can take individually, rather than a shared large bottle.
Sugar and calories Compare figures on the same per-100ml basis, then check the serving figure. Tesco lists 0g sugars and 2 kcal per 100ml for Schweppes Slimline, against 4.9g sugars and 21 kcal per 100ml for its standard tonic. Should the snack area offer a no-sugar tonic, a sugared tonic, or both? I need to choose the variant deliberately.
Ingredients Read the current label for quinine and sweeteners. Tesco lists aspartame in Schweppes Slimline; its standard tonic lists sugar and sodium saccharin. People need to be able to identify ingredients they avoid without relying on the words ‘standard’ or ‘Slimline’ alone.
Drinking water Keep an adequate supply of wholesome drinking water readily accessible. The respective workplace regulations for Great Britain and Northern Ireland set out this requirement; check the applicable provision on drinking vessels. I’m stocking mixers as an extra choice in the snack area, not as the workplace’s drinking-water supply.

What can go wrong?

  • Assuming every tonic is sugar-free

    Tesco lists 4.9g sugars per 100ml for Schweppes standard tonic and 0g for Slimline. Ordering by brand name alone could mean stocking a different variant from the one intended.

    Compare the per-100ml panel and the variant name on the current pack before ordering.

  • Reading ‘Slimline’ as ingredient-free

    Schweppes Slimline lists aspartame and quinine. Tesco’s standard tonic also lists quinine, as well as sugar and sodium saccharin.

    Check the full ingredient list and keep the pack information available to staff who need it.

  • Letting mixers stand in for drinking water

    The workplace regulations for Great Britain and Northern Ireland require an adequate, accessible supply of wholesome drinking water. The Health and Safety Executive advises cool water rather than carbonated drinks in hot working conditions.

    Stock mixers as an optional drink alongside the required water provision.

Mixer brands and pack formats

A brand’s mixer range does not establish that a particular flavour is sold in a case of 12; check the pack size of the product you choose.

Schweppes

Tesco lists both standard and Slimline Schweppes tonic in 12 x 150ml packs.

  • The two packs offer a direct choice between a sugared tonic and one listing 0g sugars per 100ml.
  • Both list quinine; Slimline lists aspartame, while the standard tonic lists sugar and sodium saccharin.

Fever-Tree

Fever-Tree describes botanical ingredients in its Premium Indian Tonic Water; Sainsbury’s lists that product in an 8 x 150ml pack.

  • The named tonic gives buyers a flavour-profile alternative to compare.
  • The cited 8-pack does not meet a strict case-of-12 requirement. Check the pack count for any other listing.

Fentimans

Fentimans lists tonic, ginger ale, soda water and flavoured mixers in its range.

  • The range offers several styles to consider if flavour choice matters more than one fixed tonic type.
  • Check the individual retailer listing for its pack count and bottle or can size.

Britvic

Britvic includes mixers alongside juices and cordials in its portfolio.

  • It is another brand to consider when comparing mixer types.
  • Use a specific product listing, rather than the wider brand range, to establish whether a mixer meets the 12-unit requirement.

Tesco

Tesco lists own-label low-calorie Indian tonic in 1-litre and 6 x 250ml formats, alongside branded Schweppes 12-packs.

  • Its listings allow comparison of individual portions with larger or differently sized packs.
  • The cited own-label formats are not cases of 12.

Frequently asked questions

Does a 12 x 150ml pack give the office 12 serves?

It gives 12 individual 150ml mixer units, totalling 1.8 litres. That does not necessarily mean 12 complete drinks: someone may use more than one unit or add other ingredients.

Should we stock Slimline or standard tonic?

Choose Slimline if the office wants a no-sugar tonic option; choose standard tonic if it wants a sugared version. Tesco lists 0g sugars per 100ml for Schweppes Slimline and 4.9g for its standard tonic. Both list quinine, while their sweeteners differ, so check the current label as well as the nutrition panel.

Can tonic mixers replace office drinking water?

No. The respective workplace regulations for Great Britain and Northern Ireland require an adequate supply of wholesome drinking water that is readily accessible. Keep mixers as an optional snack-area drink alongside that provision.

How should unopened tonic cans be stored?

ASDA’s Schweppes Indian Tonic Water pack directions say to store the cans somewhere cool and dry and check the best-before date on the base of each can. Follow the directions on the particular pack stocked in the office.
