ARCHIBALD —
THE SIPPING TONIC
The signature non-alcoholic creation of the Maison
Considered the “Rolls-Royce of tonics” by connoisseurs.
Awarded Best French Tonic in a blind tasting by Le Figaro Vin.
A unique tasting signature — without quinine
More than a tonic, Archibald is a true tasting creation.
Quinine-free, it expresses a smooth, precise, and elegant bitterness, born from a noble distilling craft and wild foraging expertise.
Tasting Notes

Botanicals and Craft
Wild gentian, hand-harvested, and juniper berries selected for their aromatic finesse.
Each botanical is macerated and distilled separately, then meticulously blended in our distillery to preserve clarity, structure, and balance.
A tonic crafted like a spirit, with the same standards of taste, precision, and integrity.

Two ways to enjoy, one shared standard of excellence
Non-alcoholic — a pure tasting experience
A true adult beverage — refined and complex.
To be enjoyed on its own, very cold, for a gastronomic experience comparable to that of a great spirit — without alcohol.
The sommelier’s recommendation for a refined alcohol-free experience:
Serve at 8°C (46°F) in a wine glass.
Finish with two turns of the pepper mill, choosing an acidic, fruity, or citrus-forward pepper
(Timut, Sichuan, or Jamaican pepper).
With alcohol — to lengthen with elegance
A Sipping Tonic designed to elevate spirits without masking their aromatics.
Quinine-free, it allows the full finesse of the gin — or any spirit it accompanies — to express itself.
Thanks to its smooth bitterness from wild gentian, Archibald reveals aromatic notes without ever overpowering them —
ideal for a balanced and elegant gin & tonic.
Designed for true gin lovers,
acclaimed by sommeliers and discerning tasters.
