On Friday the 13th in December, Schweppes is treating adults in London to the smallest G&T bar in the UK, which takes the form of a black taxi. The compact G&T bar in the back of a taxi will be decked out to resemble a Christmas bar, featuring everything from timber flooring to festive garlands and twinkling lights. Travelers will have the chance to enjoy a cocktail (Schweppes Sleigh Ride) or mocktail (Schweppes Santa's Helper), both made with Schweppes Premium Crisp Tonic Water and prepared by a traveling mixologist.
For the holidays, Schweppes is spotlighting its Edinburgh Gin, which is full of seasonal botanical ingredients such as frankincense and myrrh.
