L'aquarelle du matin is a cocktail that combines the elegance of Quebec spirits, each with its own touch of originality. The term aquarelle refers to the cocktail's softness and color.
Immortelle gin from Distillerie Cap-aux-Péchés is the base of the blend. Its aromatic character is herbaceous and floral. Added to this is Janne liqueur from Arsenal Distillery, with its deliciously sweet and spicy notes. It adds warmth and round depth. Cirka Pomelo liqueur translates subtle citrus flavors, while Humble Raspberry liqueur brings a fruity, bright sweetness. This liqueur is made by Distillerie du Quai.
The secondary ingredients in the mix are pineapple juice with its tropical, slightly sweet flavors. Lemon juice and homemade guava syrup add an interesting dimension to the cocktail. Fresh basil adds an herbaceous, slightly peppery note, reinforcing the natural flavors of gin and citrus. Finally, light 1642 tonic is used to lengthen the mix.
This cocktail will lead you to a complete sensory experience!
