50/50 Martini & Oyster | Citadelle Gin 

While Citadelle is perfect in a gin & tonic, the most curious drinkers can discover a version with a more  assertive character. How, you ask? 

To your shakers! 

Pour 45ml of Citadelle Gin 

Add 45ml of Mancino Secco Vermouth 

Mix with ice cubes 

Shake briefly to dilute the ice cubes a bit, but maintain their coldness 

A lemon 

The tasting ritual 

Swallow your oyster. Save the shell and pour in the 50/50 Citadelle Martini, then lightly squeeze a  lemon on your cocktail to add some acidic flavors. Drink as a shot. Cheers!

Citadelle & tonic  

If life gives you lemons, make gin & tonic 

There is nothing more bracingly refreshing than a beautifully composed Citadelle & Tonic. 

Garnished simply with a fresh lemon peel and voilà, you’re set. The size and shape of the peel -straight  or twisted, large or small - does not matter as long as it’s fresh. Mix Citadelle and a high-quality tonic  water and you have crafted the perfect drink. 

Beautiful in its simplicity, follow these steps to make your own Citadelle & Tonic. We prefer a 3:1 ratio  of tonic to gin, but feel free to adapt to your liking: 

Chill a large balloon glass 

Fill the glass with large, clear ice cubes to the top 

Add 1 part Citadelle Gin 

Take great care to choose a ripe, unblemished lemon 

Cut a peel -and dare to be creative in its cut! 

Add 3 parts tonic water 

Express the peel on top of the glass and around the rim and place it gently into your Citadelle &  Tonic 

Pairing Tip: Enjoy with fresh oysters, which are abundantly harvested in Charente near Château de  Bonbonnet, the home of Citadelle. 

Bonne dégustation! 

Transport your taste buds to one of the most desired seaside locations, thanks to the fine  craftsmanship of Citadelle Original Gin. Available for purchase now for $75 RRP at Liquorland,  Vintage Cellars, First Choice Liquor, and online retailer, BoozeBud.
