Fever-Tree said on Tuesday that profits rose 104% to 24.9 million, following growing demand for high-end spirits and mixers.

Rolls sold 4.5 million shares at a price of £16.25. He had originally only planned to sell 2.5 million shares, but sold more "due to significant institutional demand."

Shares have boomed in the mixer-maker, which is now worth more than £2 billion.
