Discovery kit - Mini cocktail syrup

Four mini concentrates to make cocktails with clear spirits, or alcohol-free versions. The kit makes 12 to 15 cocktails, and pairings are suggested on the back of the box.

3/4 OZ., a company based in Montréal, brings together an Appletini made with lacto-fermented Quebec apples, tasting of spiced apple pie, to try with a boreal gin or a sparkling wine; a very fresh Smash basilic-menthe, with citrus notes and a gently aniseed finish; a Kimchi Caesar made with vegan kimchi brine and tomato, with a lightly salty finish and a spicy taste; and Amer forestier, created with Sombre et amer.

Format: 3 bottles, 120 ml each, and 1 bottle of bitters, 5 ml.

What's inside: four bottles, detailed below.

• Appletini (120 ml): lacto-fermented apple juice (apples, water, honey, sea salt, rye, wheat flour, cinnamon, cardamom, mint, hibiscus flowers), water, cane sugar, citric acid, ginger juice.
• Smash basilic-menthe (120 ml): cane sugar, fennel juice, lime juice, mint juice, basil juice, water, gentian, lemon zest, citric acid, orange blossom, chlorophyll.

Allergens: the Appletini contains rye, wheat and gluten; the Kimchi Caesar contains soy (tamari).

Serving suggestion: in a glass with ice, pour 3/4 oz of Appletini or Smash basilic-menthe and 1.5 oz of spirit, then top with sparkling water. For the Kimchi Caesar, pour 1.5 oz of spirit and 2 to 3 oz of concentrate over ice. The flavours are concentrated, so add a little at a time.
