"Not quite the tonic … sharp jump in mixer prices fuels G&T inflation
It is the kind of news that calls for a stiff drink: the cost of a home-poured G&T is bubbling up due to a jump in tonic prices at the supermarket.
Shop price data from the research firm Assosia suggests that the price of mixers made by major tonic brands such as Schweppes and Fever-Tree has risen sharply this month.
In Morrisons, the UK’s fourth largest supermarket chain, a number of Schweppes mixers, including bestsellers such as Indian tonic water, have increased by 10p to £1.75 for a litre. The cost of some Schweppes drinks sold in Sainsbury’s and Tesco has also increased.
The data also reveals widespread price increases for Fever-Tree’s upmarket tonics. Since the start of 2022 Assosia has tracked 15 price increases for the brand in Morrisons, 16 in Tesco and Asda, and 21 in Sainsbury’s. A 500ml bottle of its Indian tonic water now costs £1.95 in Morrisons, a 15p increase. It costs the same higher price in Tesco and Sainsbury’s."
