Champagne is still a must with the caviar of the box mentioned above. We go with the Bollinger Rosé, in several forms: La Grande Année and the Bollinger Brut, two beautiful products that are favorites of James Bond. Quite a gentleman, but also perfect for madam.

You are more cocktails than champagne, no problem, this beautiful product of La Distillerie de Montréal will please you. It is composed of aromas of juniper berries, rhubarb, cranberry and karkadé hibiscus. Infused cranberries and hibiscus lightly colour the gin to make a reminder with the pink rhubarb.

Add this artisanal gin distilled in small batches to your orgasmic appetizers. It is a delicate floral expression, fresh and light. With its sweet and peppery aromas of juniper, hints of Jamaican pepper and elderflower, it will certainly be a gin and tonic delight. It is dry and delicate and reveals in the mouth flavors of juniper berries, light floral notes and a medium spicy finish. A total success.
