Citadelle & tonic
If life gives you lemons, make gin & tonic
There is nothing more bracingly refreshing than a beautifully composed Citadelle & Tonic.
Garnished simply with a fresh lemon peel and voilà, you’re set. The size and shape of the peel -straight or twisted, large or small -does not matter as long as it’s fresh. Mix Citadelle and a high quality tonic water and you have crafted the perfect drink.
Beautiful in its simplicity, follow these steps to make your own Citadelle & Tonic. We prefer a 3:1 ratio of tonic to gin, but feel free to adapt to your liking:
-Chill a large balloon glass
-Fill the glass with large, clear ice cubes to the top
-Add 1 part CitadelleGin
-Take great care to choose a ripe, unblemished lemon
-Cut a peel -and dare to be creative in its cut!
-Add 3 parts tonic water
-Express the peel on top of the glass and around the rim and place it gently into your Citadelle & Tonic
Pairing Tip: Enjoy with fresh oysters, which are abundantly harvested in Charente near Château de Bonbonnet, the home of Citadelle.
Bonne dégustation!
