Posh mixer brand Fever-Tree has developed a tonic water especially to go with vodka.

The new Mediterranean Tonic Water is made with thyme and rosemary from Provence and natural quinine from the Congo.

It was launched exclusively into Waitrose this week and will roll out to the on-trade in January.

"Premium vodkas have become an important part of the sophisticated drinkers' repertoire, but it has not been easy to find a premium mixer to stand tall among their refined tastes," said managing director and co-founder of the brand Tim Warrillow.

"This tonic water has been specifically designed for the vodka drinker."

The variant joins the premium versions of ginger ale, bitter lemon and Indian tonic in the Fever-Tree portfolio.
