2. Sepoy & Co. Cocktail Mixers
It’s pretty natural if your mind just wandered back to the British era reading the name of this brand of mixers and let’s just say you’re not too off. During those times, it was the British who prescribed tonic water for the soldiers or sepoys stationed. So the fact that India had only a limited range of tonics and other mixers, is what inspired Angad Soni (the founder) to come up with Sepoy & Co. They have a wide range of amazing tonics, mixers, and ginger ales that are all made of organic ingredients and natural flavors. Some of the popular flavors include mint, elderflower, hibiscus, ginger, and grapefruit.
Must Try: Tonic waters are available in three distinct flavors – Mint, Indian, and Spiced Grapefruit, a perfect companion to your gin. If you’re having a festive celebration, maybe go for a Citrus & Marigold mocktail with Indian tonic water.
