Premium tonic, mixer and soft drinks brand Franklin & Sons has added a new Mediterranean-style Mallorcan Tonic Water to its range.
Taking inspiration from the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca, the new variant combines zesty lemon, lime and grapefruit with aromatic rosemary and thyme.
The ingredients are blended with spring water, a touch of British sugar beet and quinine-rich natural cinchona bark extract.
Available in a 200ml bottle serve, the tonic has been developed to unlock new flavours and create a unique Mediterranean drinking experience for consumers.
The zesty Mallorcan-inspired flavours are said to work in harmony with citrus-forward gins and add depth to sweeter flavoured gins. Alternatively, the citrus notes match well with vodka, Blanco tequila and light aromatic fortified wines.
Global Brands’ chairman Steve Perez said: “We developed the new Mallorcan Tonic Water to give consumers a real taste of the Mediterranean summer.
“Franklin & Sons remains at the forefront of flavour discovery, taking inspiration from the original Franklin brothers, who travelled the world to source the finest natural ingredients and introduce new, innovative flavours to consumers.
“This ethos continues today and emulates an expedition to the Golden Valley, also known as the Valley of the Orange Trees on the West coast of Mallorca, to source a blend of unique citrus flavours.
“In today’s recipe, we have taken this concept and blended hints of these unique citrus notes with rosemary and thyme to create a perfectly balanced Mediterranean-style tonic water.”
Earlier on in the year, Franklin & Sons unveiled its Taste Collective campaign, educating consumers and showcasing how high-end trends across food, drinks and styling can apply to everyday life.
