The Blend Etiquette

Snake Oil Tonic Syrup was first created at Kangaroo Island Spirits by owner Jon Lark. Using the original ingredient, Cinchona Bark from the fever trees in Peru, we have crafted a premium tonic that is well suited to any Gin and Tonic.


While this business is only in its start up phase, we are looking to set up a permanent residence where we can manufacture and distribute this syrup throughout Australia and hopefully one day internationally.

The term Snake Oil, was used as an expression that originally referred to fraudulent health products or unproven medicine but has come to refer to any product with questionable or unverifiable quality or benefit. By extension, a snake oil salesman is someone who knowingly sells fraudulent goods or who is themselves a fraud, quack, or charlatan.

While our tonics may not cure any ailments, they are sure to please all when it comes to their rich embodied flavors.
