    Cicada cocktails
    \n<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>

    Gin lends itself to the creation of a very large number of cocktails offering an almost infinite palette of flavours and colours, all of which are highly seductive. We suggest four that have the advantage of being very simple to make.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Cicada Tonic<\/span><\/h1>\n

    The best known of all gin cocktails is also the most demanding of all on the character of the gin used. Only a gin originating from a wheat brandy will allow the gin tonic to release all the richness and subtlety of its inimitable bouquet of flavours, without unbalancing or distorting them.<\/p>\n

    The other essential characteristic for a successful gin tonic is to use a gin with sufficient aromatic power for its aromas to express themselves properly as a counterpoint to the tonic, which is obtained with a good gin bottled at a minimum of 43%.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • CICADA Gin : 5 cl<\/li>\n
    • Indian Tonic : 20 cl<\/li>\n
    • A slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Pour the gin into a “copita” glass on a few ice cubes.<\/li>\n
      2. Top it off with Tonic.<\/li>\n
      3. Stir gently to keep the bubbles and the sparkle of this cocktail.<\/li>\n
      4. Decorate with a slice of lemon in the glass and a sprig of rosemary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
