London Essence has announced two new tonic waters, including what it claims is a UK industry first: a premium, zero-sugar tonic that ditches artificial sweeteners entirely. 

The brand said that the two new expressions have been crafted to meet increasing demand for both health-led moderation and premium flavour exploration.

The tonic, which is also free from artificial sweeteners, delivers a clean and light flavour with bright citrus complexity.

Capitalizing on a growing thirst for innovation, London Essence has also launched Riviera Tonic Water, a move which follows a 2025 Nielsen report revealing that 47% of consumers are hunting for modern twists on classic cocktails—moving beyond simple health trends toward pure flavor creativity.

This flavoured tonic water features aromatic rosemary extract sourced from the Italian coast, which is said to bring a fresh, Mediterranean twist to classic serves.

Both tonic waters will be available nationwide to on-trade stockists from 1 April, and in retail from 15 Mar 2026, with a pack of 24 200ml bottles to be offered at an MSRP of £17.49 (US$23.34).

Kanpai!
