Fever-Tree Tonic Water

Fever-Tree was founded in 2004 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow, who sought to create a premium mixer using high-quality, natural ingredients to complement fine spirits. The brand's name originates from the 'fever tree' (Cinchona tree), whose bark provides the natural quinine used in their tonic water.

While the company is headquartered in London, its manufacturing footprint is global. For many years, production was centered in the United Kingdom, but as the brand expanded internationally, it established multiple production sites to improve efficiency. This includes facilities in the United States to serve the North American market, as well as sites in Europe and Australia.

Fever-Tree is owned by Fevertree Drinks plc, a public company listed on the London Stock Exchange. In early 2025, Molson Coors Beverage Company acquired a significant 8.5% minority stake and entered into a long-term strategic partnership to manage the production, sales, and distribution of the brand in the United States. Despite this major partnership, the brand remains an independent public entity headquartered in the UK.
