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.
3 - Boreal tonic
Boreal tonic
With boreal tonic, it is best to use a woody / forested gin or an herbaceous gin. Boreal tonics bring an additional woody / forest flavor to the gin with flavors of spruce and juniper present in these tonics.
Recommended garnish: Lemon or orange slice.

"Delicacy, grace, gentleness. Tenacity, firmness, defiance. Such as Sophia.
A slow, smooth distillation process of unparalleled precision, thanks to our fabulously efficient Polish Still.
A singular and eccentric recipe of 14 botanicals including cubeb berry, pecans, liquorice, cinnamon and Quebec's myrique. The forest aromas are juxtaposed with the fine and complex flavors of traveling aromatics. An exceptional odyssey for the taste buds.
Sophia can be enjoyed simply on ice, or in fusion with your favorite cocktail. Nevertheless, many will have tried to create the perfect gin in tonic. We took up the challenge with Sophia, we succeeded.
No need for fireworks. Sophia, ice cubes, your favorite tonic. Simplicity. Class. Efficiency."
