East Imperial

A world-class collection of New Zealand made tonic waters and mixers. All-natural, low sugar, and inspired by a 1903 recipe. The spirit of exploration lies at the heart of East Imperial. We set out to be true to the quinine water found in the tumblers of the early pioneers and settlers in East Africa and East Asia at the turn of the last century. We began with a genuine family history, and worked with the best global distillers and bartenders to create a collection based on tradition with an obsession for exceptional drinking experiences.

Grapefruit Soda

We’ve created a dry pink Grapefruit Soda like no other, packed with zesty ruby red grapefruit. It’s the perfect complement to your favorite premium tequila, mezcal, rum or exceptional just on its own. We think it’s the best Grapefruit Soda for a Paloma.

Tasting Notes:

Full and fresh with a floral hint, rolling into a tight dryness and fizz. Tropical and zesty finish.

Soda Water

To keep with the spirit of discovery that is at the heart of East Imperial, we travelled the world to find the purest, unfiltered spring water to create our Soda Water (aka Seltzer Water or Club Soda). Our water is sustainably sourced from a mineral spring located on the North Island of New Zealand. This high-quality water gives East Imperial the authentic taste of original tonic waters which were also made from the purest springs in East Africa and East Asia at the turn of the last century.

Tasting Notes:
Light, refreshing and effervescent throughout, balanced with an ever so slight salinity to finish.

Mombasa Ginger Beer

This is our expression of naturally brewed Ginger Beer. It has a brewing process that takes three days using the finest Ginger from East Africa and East Asia. We believe it captures the naturalness and freshness of the best Ginger Beer homebrews found along the coast of East Africa and the Caribbean. It has less sugar compared to other Ginger Beers and has an incredibly long-lasting ginger spice that makes it the perfect complement to spirits, especially Dark Rum. It is ideal for a Moscow Mule, Dark ‘n’ Stormy, or on its own

Tasting Notes:

A long palate, starting with lavish sweetness followed by a lingering chili-like spice. The finish is spicy, warming and lasting.

Grapefruit Tonic

To create our Grapefruit Tonic we’ve taken the South East Asian Pomelo, which delivers a deep rich orange note, and carefully blended this with Ruby Red Grapefruit, resulting in a tonic that delivers the ultimate citrus balance.

Harry Craddock, who was known in the 1930s for his fantastic cocktails at iconic London destinations, The Savoy and The Dorchester Hotel. In his journals and recipes, he often spoke of using the ‘forbidden fruit’ and his secrets remained somewhat shrouded in mystery until recent years. Harry Craddock was the inspiration for our Grapefruit Tonic and makes a stunning Gin and Tonic, as well as many other delicious cocktails.

Tasting Notes:

Round and lavish, packed with pomelo oil, finishing with a generous hit of Ruby Red grapefruit zest.

Yuzu Tonic

Our Yuzu Tonic is made for a robust yuzu citrus-flavored Gin and Tonic, or to bring a bright citrus note to your favorite cocktail. Yuzu is found during the cooler months in Northern Asia, particularly Japan, is an aromatic sweet citrus fruit with a distinct zesty flavor, often described as a hybrid between a mandarin and a Meyer lemon.

Introduced to South East Asia at the turn of the last century, it brought a unique and exceptional citrus brightness and was soon embraced by the more discerning cocktail drinker.

Tasting Notes:

Robust yuzu zest bomb alongside the bitterness of quinine. Sherbet finish with a sweet floral note.

Tonic Water

Crafted in the most elegant way, our Tonic Water captures the contemporary taste of tonic with the highest quinine levels available in the market. This is rounded out with top notes of Thai lemongrass and Manao Lime.

Our Tonic Water is created to have a bold distinctive taste, so you can recreate the century-old tradition of Long Pink Gins made famous at the Pegu Club in Rangoon, Burma. Simply add two to four dashes of bitters to a long Gin and Tonic.
We recommend our Tonic Water with the more traditional citrus-driven and London dry style gins.

Tasting Notes:

Warm and spicy, with a hint of cinnamon to start. Fresh, delicate, and full of Manao Lime zest to finish.
