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.

"A peated gin in the style of the British Isles, evoking the Scottish spirits of the Queen of the Hebrides.
The eponymous peated gin is the realization of Oushkabé’s vision and mission.
Its flavour profile pays tribute to the Atlantic archipelagos of Scotland. It smells and tastes of peat. It is an unlikely but oh so delicious marriage. One of a kind, you will find nothing like it in Quebec."
