Fitch & Leedes Cheeky Cranberry Tonic 200ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)Crack the can and pour. It comes out a properly pretty pink, fine bubbles racing up the glass. First sip is tangy cranberry, bright and a little sharp. Then the cheeky bit kicks in: a quiet warm tickle of chilli right at the back. Tip in your gin or vodka and you've got a blush-pink long drink that looks the part and actually tastes like something. Pour it solo over ice and nobody's missing the booze.
Cranberry leads, juicy and tart, more zing than syrup. It's not sweet and gloopy. Fitch & Leedes keep the sugar low on purpose, so the fruit stays crisp and your spirit gets to shine instead of getting buried. The fizz is fine and lively, the kind that prickles rather than froths. And then the signature move: a gentle hint of chilli that warms the finish without setting your mouth on fire. Tart, fresh, a touch grown-up.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Fitch & Leedes is a South African premium mixer label, and the name is a proper bit of trivia: Ralph Fitch and William Leedes were two London merchants who sailed east in 1583 hunting exotic flavours. The brand made its mixers with four-times-filtered water for a clean base, then went off-script with this one. Most cranberry drinks just chase sweet. Cheeky Cranberry throws in a hint of chilli instead, which is exactly where the cheeky comes from.
