Archibald — Sipping Tonic
 
The tonic for Gin & Tonic lovers and connoisseurs
 
The benchmark Sipping Tonic
 
Ranked No. 1 tonic by Le Figaro Vin
 
A distinctive Sipping Tonic crafted with gentian and wild juniper berries from Auvergne, without quinine.
 
Created by a distiller to offer an alternative of exceptional quality, designed to elevate gin and other spirits while being equally enjoyable on its own.
 
Drier, more complex and more precise than a conventional tonic, Archibald appeals to discerning enthusiasts seeking an uncompromising expression of quality.
 
A Sipping Tonic unlike any other
 
Exceptional aromatic precision
 
Fresh, elegant herbal notes, underpinned by the gentle, structured bitterness of wild gentian.
 
Free from quinine, its bitterness never overpowers the gin’s aromas: it reveals and enhances them.
 
A beautifully dry, never cloying balance, with delicate, fine bubbles that are more gently sparkling than effervescent.
 
A tonic designed to respect the individual character of every gin and reveal its complexity, whether floral, herbal, spicy or maritime.
 
Suggested serving occasions
 
As a mixer — the ultimate Gin & Tonic
 
Hailed as the “Rolls-Royce of Gin & Tonics” and named Best French Tonic in a blind tasting by Le Figaro, Archibald elegantly enhances every style of gin, without ever masking its character.
 
Recommended ratio: 1 part gin to 3–4 parts Archibald Tonic, to preserve balance and aromatic finesse.
 
It also pairs beautifully with cognac, gentian liqueur or Folle Envie aperitif.
 
A benchmark tonic for true gin enthusiasts, lovers of delicate bitters, fine wines and exceptional products, as well as those who cannot tolerate quinine.
 

 
It is the natural companion to Parcelle, the gin produced at Archibald Distillery, crafted from three wild, certified-organic botanicals, hand-foraged by our gatherers from a single plot in Auvergne.

Enjoyed on its own, alcohol-free — a refined tasting experience
 
Served well chilled (8°C) in a wine glass, Archibald Sipping Tonic offers a crisp, sophisticated tasting experience.
 
Its character can be enhanced with a touch of bright, fruity pepper (Timut, Sichuan or Jamaican pepper), or it can become the base of an alcohol-free long drink with a splash of verjus.
 
Created for discerning drinkers, it appeals to those seeking an exceptional alcohol-free experience, with all the pleasure and complexity of a Gin & Tonic.
 
It is also ideal for those who wish to slow down without compromising the experience — particularly as an evening unfolds, allowing them to moderate their alcohol consumption without sacrificing flavour or enjoyment.
 

 
Ideal occasions: late afternoon, aperitif, pairings to open a gastronomic tasting menu, or throughout the evening.
