Double Dutch renames its Riviera Tonic Water

Mixer brand Double Dutch has changed the name of its Riviera Tonic Water to Sun & Sea Tonic Water to ‘broaden the product’s world beyond a geographic reference’.

Originally launched as Riviera Tonic Water in September 2025, the new name is said to reflect Double Dutch’s continued growth across global premium hospitality. Furthermore, the move ensures clear global trademark ownership as the brand continues to expand internationally. Double Dutch co-founders Raissa and Joyce de Haas commented: “This evolution allows us to secure long-term global trademark protection as we scale internationally. “Sun & Sea captures the same golden-hour energy – bright, refreshing and full of character – while giving us a name we can confidently scale internationally.” Designed for the on-trade, Sun & Sea Tonic Water was formulated to pair with citrus-forward and herbaceous gins, coastal Spritzes, white vermouth serves, and creative no-and-low cocktails. It boasts a botanical blend of aromatic thyme, rosemary, bittersweet wormwood and zesty lemon, and was initially inspired by ‘sunlit coastlines and the art of slow, indulgent sipping’. Its layered botanical profile makes it a ‘versatile, menu-elevating mixer for year-round Mediterranean-inspired serves.’ In the EU, the name change will be completed within six months, while in the UK the change is already taking place. The liquid, team, and commercial terms remain unchanged. The brand celebrated 10 years in business in 2025 with an overhaul of its bottle design. The new look features lightweight glass and vibrant labels that reflect the brand's bold personality while supporting its sustainability commitments.
