About Schweppes

Schweppes traces its history to Jacob Schweppe, a watchmaker and amateur scientist who developed a way of making carbonated water in Geneva in 1783. The brand grew from soda water into tonic water, ginger ale and lemonade, and it remains one of the most recognised mixer brands in the world.

How to Enjoy Schweppes

Pour Schweppes mixers well chilled over plenty of ice to keep the bubbles lively. Classic pairings include tonic with gin and lime, dry ginger ale with whisky or rum, soda with vodka and lemon, and ginger beer in a Moscow mule. They are also refreshing on their own.

Schweppes FAQs

Is Schweppes non-alcoholic?

Yes. All Schweppes mixers are non-alcoholic soft drinks. They include tonic water, soda water, dry ginger ale, dry lemonade and ginger beer, which can be enjoyed on their own or mixed with spirits.

What is Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale used for?

Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale is a classic mixer for whisky, bourbon, brandy and dark rum. It has a light ginger flavour and a crisp, less sweet taste, which lets the spirit come through. It is also good on its own with ice.

What is the difference between soda water and tonic water?

Soda water is plain carbonated water with no flavour, so it mixes with almost any spirit. Tonic water contains quinine, which gives it a distinct bitter taste, and is the classic partner for gin.

Who created Schweppes?

Schweppes was created by Jacob Schweppe, who developed a method for making carbonated water in Geneva in 1783. His business later moved to London and grew into a well-known range of mixers and soft drinks.
