The more basic the recipe, the more imperative the ingredients. It was this mindset that led the team at Beefeater to partner with Oakland-based beverage ingredient producers Small Hand Foods to create Yeoman Tonic Syrup, an all natural tonic water alternative built specifically for a Beefeater gin. For the project, Small Hand Foods founder Jennifer Colliau and Beefeater Master Distiller Desmond Payne collaborated to create an aromatic formula that would augment the citrus profile of Beefeater gin while also eliminating unnecessary sugars and artificial ingredients. The concentrated bar mainstay also offers patrons the option to further control their spirit and seltzer ratio without running into watered down consequences.
