A beautifully balanced tonic with natural quinine, a clean citrus hit and no artificial anything.
Made with quinine sourced from Indian cinchona bark, blended with citrus and floral botanical extracts in small batches.
Lighter and more citrusy than most mainstream tonics, with less overt bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish.
No artificial sweeteners, flavourings or preservatives - in either version.
Folkington's is a family-owned East Sussex independent, B Corp certified and carbon neutral.
Their Farm Not Factory approach means the same botanical sources, the same growers, every year.
Equally good with a spirit of your choice or on its own over ice.

What's the difference between Standard and Light?
The Light has 33% fewer calories, achieved by using fructose instead of cane sugar — no artificial sweeteners involved. It's slightly drier and more bitter as a result, which many people prefer with a spirit.
Does the Light version contain artificial sweeteners?
No. Folkington's don't use artificial sweeteners anywhere in their range. The reduced calorie count comes purely from less fructose, nothing else.
Can I drink this on its own?
Yes - both versions work well on their own. Serve well chilled over plenty of ice.
