Mixer brand Fever-Tree has brought back its limited-edition Refreshingly Light Damson & Sloe Berry Tonic Water after popularity with shoppers last year.

Made to complement the autumnal drinking occasion, the flavour replaces the brand’s summer limited edition, Passionfruit and Lime, which will return to shelves next March.

It is available in 500ml bottles at an RRP of £1.90. The supplier recommends pairing the tonic water with a London Dry gin, but says it can also be served on its own over ice. The gin is made with warming spices including cardamom, star anise, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Ross Haddow, Fever-Tree’s head of innovation, said: “Damson & Sloe was crafted together with local suppliers from here in the UK and it’s their expertise and passion for nature’s best ingredients which makes this liquid so special.

“For me, it’s everything you want in an autumn/winter drink. Rich, warming and spicy, it makes for the ideal welcoming drink when friends and family arrive for festivities.”
