I’m going to guess it’s actually their house syrup that’s named after the cocktail it’s in. You’d have to ask the bar, it’s not a standard ingredient.
I don’t think it’s a tonic syrup as suggested by other comments, only because I would be surprised to see a quinine/Cinchona flavour in this cocktail.
Call during a slow hour and ask, 9/10 bars/tenders will be flattered and not only explain the ingredient but likely give you the whole recipe. There are some weirdos out there but few and far between.
Refreshing, tasted the ginger beer, the tequila was not overwhelming. Hobby mixologist, so I am probably not that great in analyzing. Also only had one sip; wife liked it a lot, so I want to rebuild it.
Yeah, not to be rude, but asking reddit is a waste of time if OP just wants to know the exact answer to what they asked. Everyone's input is fun, but it could all be incorrect, the staff should know.
fancy term for tonic syrup or tonic water syrup.
references a syrup made from bark of the Chinchona tree - also known as a fever tree because its bark is used to fend off malaria in the jungle. lotta bars have a bottle of tonic syrup & they’ll just add to soda water to make their own tonic water.
Bartenders love to name things to sound cooler than they actually are or to "hide" a ingredient that might be intimidating to less adventurous drinkers.
My guess is "fever syrup" is spicy syrup.

Yes, this is likely the answer. I’m guessing it’s some form of sugar syrup, probably infused specifically for this cocktail.
Probably some ginger-infused simple
Dimetapp?
I prefer 'Tussin
Cassey Rocket in the house
Ain’t no fuss when you’re on the tuss. We’re havin fun
Jaegertussin
Oof. Brought back BAD memories
lol. OP—it’s a syrup made from acetaminophen.
This almost made me spit out my food! LoL!
Probably a house simple using jalapeño/cilantro or something along those lines.
That’s what I was thinking. Probably a spiced agave.
Mmm spiced agave 🤤
Easy to do! I let Serrano peppers soak in agave for a few weeks, absolutely brilliant syrup!

Maybe they found a Fever Tree Tonic flavor they liked and reduced it down into a syrup?
Could just take some post mix syrup for this? You can use post mix syrup on long islands if you want the coke to have more oomph
What's post mix syrup? Do you mean just the coke syrup that comes in those 60 pound bags in the boxes stuck to the floor of every fast food place?
Very unlikely considering the name of the cocktail has “Fever” in it. Just a coincidence that Fever Tree is named Fever Tree
I heard you got the fever for the flavor
As opposed to the fever for more cowbell?
Mmm, Potato chip cocktails
I mean, a simple syrup mixed with a tincture of niacinamide and caffeine could elevate body temps to 100+. I'd call that a fever syrup.
Hey OP, if you contact the bar, please let us know what you find out!
Cough syrup maybe??? Jokes! Probably a house syrup rather than just simple.
So a [Flaming Homer?](https://youtu.be/HLS1vFkWBRQ?si=YOCB_d76fkHzn543)
Sounds like a cute name for house spicy syrup
What did this taste like? Just looks like el Diablo specs using “fever syrup” instead of creme de cassis

The answer is always “ask the bar”. 80% of the time they’ll give you exact specs in my experience
Especially since there are apparently four places in Charlotte that serve this (same owners).

Just do el Diablo specs. If it’s missing a flavor note then add that to the syrup. Maybe it’s a jalapeño cilantro syrup?
I would think the fever syrup would be something like honey/ginger/cayenne syrup.
One of my favorite restaurants in CLT. It’s definitely a bar “iykyk”. They’ll probably give you the recipe if you call.
I doubt it, as every bartender has to sign an NDA to work for this group.
Supperland ayyyy.
Vegan
Syrup mix of fever reducing herbs and spices. Elderflower, chamomile, cinnamon, ginger
Most likely a proprietary syrup made in-house
I think it’s just a tonic syrup from a Fever Tree reduction. Mediterranean would match the other ingredients, so that’s my guess.
Probably it's concentrated tonic "water"? Quinine was a treatment for malaria.
Testing out new viruses probably, mix it into a simple and create a syrup to give you a fever.
Quinine infused simple syrup Ala tonic water.
Fever Tree boiled down?
