Episode 59: It’s all in the mix

By Kim Berry | 20 September 2023

In this episode, Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry talks to Fever Tree MD ANZ, Andy Gaunt, about the company and how it disrupted the little-thought-about market of mixer drinks. 

The discussion explores the history behind Fever Tree and its impending 20-year anniversary, and its focus on developing tonic waters – and other mixers – that are the best support act for gin and other spirits. We also get insights into how their tonics are produced, the logistics behind their global distribution network, and some exciting news about its presence in Australia.

We wrap up by discussing the science behind carbonation and Fever Tree’s new line of cocktail mixers.
