Fitch & Leeds Grapefruit Tonic 200ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)Pour this and the whole glass turns a soft rosy pink. Take a sip and it's tangy pink grapefruit up top, then a clean bittersweet quinine bite underneath that stops it being a soft drink. Splash it over gin and you've got the easiest pink G&T in Nairobi. No alcohol in the can itself, so it's just as happy solo over ice when you want something that tastes grown-up but won't touch your night.
It smells like fresh-cut pink grapefruit, that zesty-sweet citrus with a little floral lift. The first sip is bright and tangy, properly fruity, then the quinine kicks in: a dry, bittersweet edge that keeps everything balanced instead of sugary. The bubbles are fine and lively, the kind that prickle rather than fizz out fast. Finishes clean and a touch bitter, which is exactly why it makes spirits taste better.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Fitch & Leedes is a South African premium mixer brand, and it grew into one of the country's top tonic names before going global. The name is a nod to Ralph Fitch and William Leedes, two London merchants who set sail in 1583 chasing exotic flavours in India and the East. Centuries later their name ended up on a can of pink grapefruit tonic. This one is made in South Africa and comes in a tidy 200ml can, single-serve so every pour is fresh and fizzy.
