Fever-Tree, the world’s leading producer of premium tonics, gingers, and cocktail mixers, will open a new rooftop botanical bar with award-winning Chemist Spirits today in the heart of eclectic downtown Asheville. The rooftop experience will be located at the distillery’s three-story prohibition era-themed bar, Antidote, and represents Fever-Tree’s first such collaboration with a distillery.
The al fresco rooftop bar provides a multi-sensory experience that brings together the sights, sounds, flavors, and fragrances of a private botanical garden escape. Bold florals, verdant live herbs, and beautiful rooftop views serve as the serene backdrop for cocktail fans to enjoy beautifully presented, top-quality hand-crafted mixed drinks from Fever-Tree and Chemist Spirits.
The curated drinks menu brings to life Fever-Tree’s mantra, “if ¾ of your drink is the mixer, mix with the best”, demonstrating the brand’s philosophy of never compromising when it comes to creating the best tasting mixers to enhance the world’s best spirits.
