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 - Aromatic tonic
Aromatic tonic
With aromatic tonic, it is better to use a very tasty juniper gin (richer and more robust). The aromatic tonics bring an additional flavor to the gin thanks to more spicy notes (ex: cardamom, ginger) but at the same time sweet (ex: vanilla).
Recommended garnish: Slice of cucumber or juniper berries.
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 compagny Guy Lafleur Wine & Spirits work with the verger Hemmingford to produce the gin Guy Lafleur No.10.
"Distilled from 100% Canadian grains, gin No.10 is peppery and powerful. Guy Lafleur, star player of the Montreal Canadiens of the '70s and' 80s, told us that at the time, it was common to shout "We're going to pepper them all!" just before entering the ice rink.
Created and produced in Quebec by Verger Hemmingford, this gin is reflecting its author: an exceptional spirit which will please connoisseurs and will inspire mixologists."
Here is the list of cocktails we recommend for this gin:
