Recommended tonics
1 - Elderflower tonic
Elderflower tonic
With elderflower tonic, it is better to use a fresher gin (ex: cucumber) or a more floral gin. Elderflower tonics provide additional floral flavors that complement the flavors of the gin well.
Recommended garnish: Lemon 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.

"Cherry River Floral gin carefully brings together the freshness of juniper berry and coriander seed with the finesse of aromatics from Quebec’s flora and terroir. From the skilful combination of elderflower, sweet violet, Eastern Townships lavender, Kamouraska wild rose and toasted almond comes a highly distinctive infusion with a subtle, mellow bouquet which, together with double distillation in a column still, makes this spirit a bold and lively craft gin imbued with the delicate aromatic sweetness of our landscapes."
