East Imperial's Grapefruit Tonic is a symphony of citrus, combining the deep, rich orange notes of the South East Asian pomelo with the vibrant tang of ruby red grapefruit. This unique blend delivers the perfect balance of citrusy sweetness and zesty bite, elevating your cocktails to new heights.
A History of Citrus Delight: The grapefruit, a 18th-century hybrid of sweet oranges and pomelos, was long prized for its flavor and health benefits. Its high vitamin C content made it a favorite among sailors and explorers, replacing lime and lemons on voyages.
Inspired by a Legend: Harry Craddock, a legendary bartender at London's iconic Savoy and Dorchester Hotel in the 1930s, was known for his innovative cocktails featuring the "forbidden fruit," grapefruit. His secret recipes, shrouded in mystery until recently, inspired East Imperial's Grapefruit Tonic.
Experience the perfect blend of history, innovation, and citrusy delight with every sip.
