Recommended tonics
1 - 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.
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.

"Sharing their expertise and workshop for over a year, NOROI and Distillerie du 29 octobre are proud to offer this exceptional product. Thanks to distiller Davy Gallant’s beekeeping knowledge and his bees (from St-Germain-de-Grantham), we have succeeded in creating a tasty gin with delicate flavours of raw goldenrod honey."
