Premium mixer drink brand Fever-Tree is soaring to new heights after being selected as the exclusive tonic of choice on all Virgin Australia flights domestically and to New Zealand.

Available in 150ml cans, the premium Indian tonic will join the on-board drinks menu and be offered to passengers individually or alongside Virgin’s in-flight gin options.

This is a new distribution channel for the UK brand which can be found on shelf in Woolworths and Coles.

Fever-Tree was recently awarded ‘Top Trending’ and ‘Best Selling’ tonic water for the fifth year in a row by Drinks International in the World’s 50 Best Bars Brands Report, and has a portfolio of 14 mixers, including ginger ales, lemonades and colas.

Fever-Tree Indian Tonic will be available for purchase on all Virgin Australian domestic flights for $3.50.
