Recommended tonics
1 - Boreal tonic
Boreal tonic
With boreal tonic, it is best to use a woody / forested gin or an herbaceous gin. Boreal tonics bring an additional woody / forest flavor to the gin with flavors of spruce and juniper present in these tonics.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or orange slice.
2 - 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.
3 - Light tonic
Light tonic
With light tonic, it is better to use a more pronounced gin (ex: aged or juniper berry-based gin) but this tonic is suitable for any variety of gin. The light tonics bring the same traditional taste and the same bitterness as the classic tonics but they are lighter in calories thus leaving more room for the dominant flavors present in some gins.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or orange.

"We would like to take a moment to highlight this superb and delicious collaboration with the Faculty of Forestry, Geography and Geomatics at Université Laval!
As part of Forestry Sciences Week, held March 14 to 19 in Quebec City, we created a forest version of our famous Bravo Charlie Gin! In addition to Bravo Charlie’s classic botanicals, we added a maceration of black spruce and horsetail hand-picked in our Abitibi forests!
No fewer than 7 botanicals from our region are found in this Bravo Charlie Réserve Forestière, not bad, right?"
Here is the list of cocktails we recommend for this gin:
