Elderflower & Pomegranate Tonic Water

When your gin and tonic is predominantly made up of the latter, make sure you have the very best on the market…

The purity of flavour in this game-changing Elderflower & Pomegranate Tonic Water is astounding. Subtle and summery, it opens with that unmistakable blossom fragrance, before leading on to the tartness of pomegranate jewels popping in your mouth. Harvey Nichols recommends experimenting with this floral mixer, but aromatic gins such as Botanist, Chase 48, Gin Mare, G’Vine, Liverpool Rose Petal, St George Botanivore and Audemus Pink Pepper Gin, or even something more adventurous like the more delicate side of Tequila and Mezcal, would be great places to start.

Each bottle of Harvey Nichols Tonic Water features the iconic de Havilland Mosquito, a patriotic homage to the myth dating back to colonial India, where the British would drink tonic water containing quinine to ward of mosquito-borne malaria.

We searched the length and breadth of the British Isles for the perfect partner to create this tonic and found Claire Rennie in the tiny Aberdeenshire’s parish of Pitsligo. Her company, Summerhouse Drinks, are masters of their art, growing many of the botanicals used in their own walled garden and using no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives.
