Recommended tonics
1 - 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.
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.

"In 1853, the steamboat Charles-Édouard provided the first ferry service between the South Shore and the North Shore, from the Sainte-Angèle wharf. It was a party on board. 170 years later, a group of enthusiastic distillers aged a gin to music for 12 months in bourbon barrels that had previously held an imperial stout. Celebrate with us the bond that unites the two shores with this rich liquid, with its vanilla and woody taste and juniper finish, while listening to its playlist of timeless old classics."
