Dr John William Polidori was a literary figure of the highest order. He was also the personal physician to fellow writer and poet George Gordon Byron, commonly known as Lord Byron who became a leading figure in the Romantic Movement. Polidori’s masterful writings and alchemic distillates laid the foundation for a modern interpretation in the form of two tonics that the enterprising Doctor would’ve been proud of.

Doctor Polidori Dry Tonic Water -

Very complex first of all, with many different botanicals used including earthy basil and thyme, spicy cubeb pepper and instantly recognisable juniper. Floral and citrus notes are combined with spring water, which together with reduced sugar content results in a wonderfully dry tonic giving ample room for gin and botanicals to unfold.

Doctor Polidori Cucumber Tonic Water -

On trend and waiting to explode into homes and bars everywhere is Polidori’s Cucumber Tonic Water. Natural cucumber extract and quinine is used with citric acid to create a vegetative flavour profile reminiscent of the ventures undertaken by Polidori himself. This tonic not only works in a G&T but also neat as a refreshing palate cleanser precisely like a citrus sorbet.
