Gin Events has announced Fever-Tree as the Exclusive Tonic Partner for its festival calendar, the Australian Gin Awards, Fever-Tree G&T Week and the Fever-Tree G&T Cup.

Gin Events is a national platform connecting distillers, consumers, hospitality, retailers and premium drinks brands through festivals, competitions and industry-focused events.

The inaugural G&T Cup was held in May 2026, providing Australian distillers with an opportunity to showcase their gin in a classic G&T, with entries judged on the quality and balance of the finished serve. Best in Show G&T pairing was awarded to Daylesford Miner’s Gin and Fever-Tree Mediterranean Light Tonic. 

Fever-Tree said it was particularly interested in using the partnership with Gin Events to develop a stronger, long-term relationship with Australia’s gin distilleries and the broader spirits industry.

Fever-Tree ANZ General Manager Grant Howard said: “The partnership with Gin Events aligns with Fever-Tree’s brand values of quality and innovation and highlights the importance we place on elevating the cultural relevance of the G&T serve.”

Gin Events Founder and CEO Judith Kennedy AM said: “Gin and tonic is one of the world’s great drinks combinations. The quality of the mixer can make an enormous difference to the way a gin is experienced.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Fever-Tree. They share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship, and their involvement adds another dimension to the experience we can offer Australian distillers and consumers.”
