With elderflower tonic, it is better to use a fresher gin (ex: cucumber) or a more floral gin. Elderflower tonics provide additional floral flavors that complement the flavors of the gin well.
Recommended garnish: Lemon slice.
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.

"The concept of the Trait-Carré refers to an urban planning unique in North America. Located back then in the heart of Notre-Dame-des-Anges seigneury, the Jesuits reproduced this urban planning of dividing the land in a star-shaped way. The aim of this idea was to regroup the inhabitants at the center of the Trait-Carré, thus offering a better protection and allowed the pooling of their resources."
