Gin & Tonic - Effluve Botanique

This cocktail is an exploration of flavors, where the richness of Radoune gin meets the boldness of handcrafted orange liqueur.
At the heart of this cocktail is O'Dwyer Distillery's Radoune Gin. This gin, which draws its inspiration from Quebec landscapes, provides a robust yet refined botanical base, full of character and local nuances.
This spirit is complemented by Société Secrète's Liqueur d'Herbes Heure Verte. This liqueur is distinguished by its deep, complex herbal notes. This spirit gives a real signature to G&T cocktails. Distillerie Arsenal's citrus liqueur brings a citrus edge to Radoune gin. It adds a touch of amber to the mix.
The blend is delicately lengthened by the light Tonic 1642. Its finesse and discreet bubbles enhance the spirits. I always appreciate the garnishes on a G&T. In this case, I use a blood orange chip, which adds a visual touch and a subtle fruity bitterness. Fresh basil leaves diffuse an herbaceous fragrance, while juniper berries enhance the gin's classic notes.
Effluve Botanique is an elegant, complex and deeply refreshing G&T. It offers a perfect balance between the intensity of herbs, the liveliness of citrus and the purity of gin, while exploring the flavors of Quebec produce.
