Recommended tonics
1 - Mediterranean tonic
Mediterranean tonic
With Mediterranean tonic, it is better to use a citrus gin or a more herbaceous gin. Mediterranean tonics bring some subtle citrus and fresh notes (ex: thyme and rosemary). There are also smaller bubbles (similar to champagne) than in classic tonics, bringing a rounder and smoother flavor.
Recommended garnish: Slice of grapefruit or lemon and sprig of rosemary.
2 - Cucumber tonic
Cucumber tonic
With cucumber tonic, it is better to use a dry gin. Cucumber tonics bring extra freshness to more traditional gins thanks to the more herbaceous flavors brought by cucumber. These tonics are also often lower in calories (like light tonics).
Recommended garnish: Grapefruit slice.
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.

"SuperSonic, a London Dry Gin crafted with passion. A judicious blend of 10 distinct ingredients: juniper berries, coriander, orange, lemon, kaffir lime leaves, cassia buds, grains of paradise, angelica and orris root, sapote, plus one more, very subtle, that we keep secret.
An unconventional, slow and gentle distillation method gives it a lovely, silky roundness.
We are convinced that a playlist looping around the still during distillation influences the taste of SuperSonic gin. But it may also simply be because it is made in small quantities, in small batches, with love, one bottle at a time. One thing is certain: we are proud to offer you this first product. Try it: neat, with tonic, without tonic, in a drink by Francis Masson or, better yet, with your own recipe. Scan the code to access the playlist and presto, the table is set for a relaxing "gin in hand" moment."
