Thyme inspires thoughts of summer... and the heat! Add a handful of blueberries from Lac St-Jean and it's a one-way trip to the edge of a lake to sip your Gin Tonic! A smidge of thyme brings a touch of bitterness that goes perfectly with 1642 Light Tonic. We were very gentle on the sugar to help appreciate the aromas of the Gin even more.
1642 gin recommendation : we went for "London Dry" type gins, which are a bit "dryer" in the mouth and go well with a light sugar tonic. Our choices: Côte des Saints Premium , Comont , Supersonic .
