Recommended tonics
1 - Mediterranean tonic
Mediterranean tonic
With Mediterranean tonic, it is better to use a citrus gin or a more herbaceous gin. Mediterranean tonics bring some subtle citrus and fresh notes (ex: thyme and rosemary). There are also smaller bubbles (similar to champagne) than in classic tonics, bringing a rounder and smoother flavor.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or lemon and sprig of rosemary.
2 - Citrus tonic
Citrus tonic
With citrus tonic (ex: lemon, yuzu), it is better to use a sweeter gin (ex: sloe gin). The citrus tonics bring a more bitter touch and an additional freshness thanks to the citrus fruits in these tonics allowing to balance the sweeter notes present in the gin.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or grapefruit slice.
3 - Classic tonic
Classic tonic
With classic tonic, it is better to use a drier gin (London dry gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The classic tonics are the most usual and they bring a nice bitterness that perfectly complements the taste of all gins.
Recommended garnish: Lemon, grapefruit or cucumber slice.

"A refreshing grapefruit gin made with a generous amount of pink grapefruits macerated in our copper still to obtain a frank and perfectly balanced taste.
In the mouth, the result is a generous gin with a presence of juniper berries as a starter and a citrus finish dominated by grapefruit."
