Mixers

In 1827 the legendary John Ross set out on foot from Port Natal to Delagoa Bay to obtain medicines and other vital supplies for the stranded survivors of ‘The Mary’. Although not officially recorded, two very special companions provided additional eyes and ears against the lurking dangers. Introducing Barker, the plucky fox terrier who understood the law of the jungle all too well, and the parrot Quin, a little wacky yet as wise and as true as the sky.

Barker and Quin is a premium tonic water producer. This means they select natural ingredients and quinine, mixed together with mountain spring water to form the perfect tonic water. They aim to supply tonic to the discerning gin drinker. Priding
themselves on delivering a consistent premium tonic mixer using all natural ingredients.

This floral-infused tonic is made with natural Hibiscus, Honeybush and real Quinine. This flavour arrangement compliments various Gins, but is also delicious as a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage. “The earth laughs in flowers” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Delicate. Generous. Rewarding. 

Discover the bite and savour the lingering finish. Bootleggers Ginger Beer, handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail and delicacy in flavour, offers a rewarding, lingering finish that's generous on the ginger. Once again, New Zealand shows Australia how it's done. 

The grapefruit was not discovered until the 18th century and botanists believe it is the result of crossbreeding sweet oranges of Barbados with the pomelo, a citrus fruit native to Indonesia. The British knew that not only was this new fruit delicious, it was very good for you too, with sailors and explorers favouring it over lime and lemons due to its natural higher vitamin C content.

Enter Harry Craddock, who was known in the 1930s for his fantastic cocktails at iconic London destinations, The Savoy and The Dorchester Hotel. In his journals and recipes he often spoke of using the ?forbidden fruit? and his secrets remained somewhat shrouded in mystery until recent years. Inspired by Craddock, East Imperial have taken the South East Asian Pomelo, which delivers a deep rich orange note and carefully blended this with Ruby Red Grapefruit, resulting in a tonic which delivers the ultimate citrus balance.

TASTING NOTES:

Round and lavish initial palate, packed with pomelo and citrus oil. Finishes with a generous hit of ruby red grapefruit zest.

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew embodies over 250 years of exploration, discovery and the pioneering spirit. Kew played an important role in the story of quinine, transporting cinchona tree seedlings from South America to India. This use of this vital medicinal plant eventually led to the greatest cocktail of all time, the humble G&T.

East Imperial have created this unique tonic water to introduce a subtle brightness to your glass with the refreshing notes of elderflower, combined with the tart taste of ruby red grapefruit and bitterness of sustainably sourced quinine from the highlands of Batavia in Java.

This partnership is borne from a shared passion for exploration, discovery and the natural world. Together East Imperial salute the botanists, the explorers and the rich contribution the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew has made to their history. So raise your glasses and let’s celebrate this remarkable history and partnership with the world’s finest tonic water.

TASTING NOTES:

Light, rich and full of zest. Candied violets and elderflower rule the palate followed by a dry and floral finish, full of Grapefruit oil.

This tonic water has been created with a bold distinctive taste to recreate the century old tradition of Long Pink Gins made famous at the Pegu Club in Rangoon, Burma. Simply add two to four dashes of bitters to a long G&T.

Crafted in the most elegant way, this tonic water captures the contemporary taste of tonic with added citric acid and a higher sugar level. Burma Tonic Water has double the natural cane sugar of East Imperial Tonic Water and has the highest quinine levels available in the market. This is rounded out with top notes of Thai lemongrass and manao lime to perfectly balance a few dashes of bitters. 

A stunningly bright and exotic take on traditional lemonade. Using the zest and oils of the Japanese yuzu citrus combined with natural cane sugar. You?ll find our Yuzu Lemonade perfect for a Tom Collins, Lynchburg Lemonade, or of course enjoyed on it's own.

Tasting notes:

Bright, fresh & floral. Initial palate is punchy with fresh citrus and a touch of sweetness, developing into a robust and full bodied palate with a velvet like mouth feel. The finish is crisp and dry with the carbonation serving floral notes of yuzu and citrus pith.
