THE SCOOP
RETRO FITTING FITCH & LEEDES Mixing up the look and feel of its product, Fitch & Leedes has relaunched its glass bottle collection of premium mixers with a nod to the past. Evoking a sense of nostalgia is more than just a marketing gimmick since the underlying message is to be reminiscent of a time when things were carefully made by hand, with great craftsmanship and skill. Bitter or sweet, classic or fruity in regular or sugar free – Fitch & Leedes has a premium mixer for every taste and it’s frequently the preferred choice of top mixologists. Enjoy it on its own over ice as a refreshing alcohol-free alternative or as the perfect mix to your favourite gin or vodka. Even more good news is that Fitch & Leedes has trimmed off some of the calories in their extensive range of mixers. The sugar free Indian tonic boasts less than 1 calorie (4kJ) in a 200ml can! So anyone worried about keeping the kilogrammes at bay should consider switching their current brand to Fitch & Leedes. Coming in at just 5 calories (22kJ) per can, sugar free pink tonic and bitter lemon will also help in the campaign. The Fitch & Leedes range includes Indian, pink, blue and coral (grapefruit flavoured) tonics as well as a variety of mixers – lemonade, ginger ale, club soda, bitter lemon to cheeky cranberry, spicy ginger beer and peach lemonade.
