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.

"With each production of Récif, we divert a few litres into meticulously selected casks to produce our gin aged by the sea. In the shadow of our Charentais still, the barrels wait patiently, quietly releasing their scents into the air.
Ageing in oak casks adds an extra dimension to our Récif gin, made with 14 native and locally grown botanicals and repeatedly awarded for its character, its taste of terroir and its boldness. Its amber hue hints at its woody notes, which add to its remarkable, complex and surprising character.
Tasting our gin aged in premium casks means tasting the artisanal know-how of our master distiller and the flavours of the Gaspésie, shaped by time and the effect of oak."
