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 - 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.

The company Les Spiritueux SCR works in collaboration with the Les Subversifs distillery to produce Fou Bloom gin.
"It’s all in the balance.
Bloom was born from the challenge of creating a citrus gin that would be first and foremost well balanced. Neither too floral nor too perfumed, its aromatic precision will leave no one indifferent. So much so that it leaves many other citrus or floral gins in a bind!
Here, our 14 aromatics interact with one another, building sensations on flavours, scents on flavours, and creating a marriage that is both complex and precise. Fans of classic dry gin will be pleasantly surprised, and fans of citrus or floral gins will be well served."
Here is the list of cocktails we recommend for this gin:
