Match Mediterranean Tonic

This premium Tonic range from Switzerland has lower level sugar than most tonics. Flavours of Sage, Basil, Rosemary, Cardamom and Quinine Tonic Water boost the botanicals in Matraz.

We think these bottles are pretty sexy and unlike anything else on the market they will turn heads at your home bar. 100% post-recycled glass and pretty gorgeous to re-purpose too!

Fun fact

The French 75 earned its name for packing a punch like a French 75mm artillery gun from World War I. The cocktail originated around the 1930s in Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, France. Despite the name, the cocktail is very refreshing and inviting.

The French 75 officially calls for Champagne however you can substitute it with Cava /Prosecco or dry sparkling wine with fantastic results. Not dissimilar to a GIn Sling , which is topped with soda water.
