Empress Gin & Lychee Cocktail

An exquisite tasting cocktail made with 1908 Empress Gin, a perfect blend of juniper and citrus notes. This small batch gin is infused with butterfly pea blossom, an exotic herb that balances the traditional citrus notes of gin with a warm herbal earthiness, and gives the gin its natural indigo colour.

Orange Blossom Cocktail

A refreshingly sweet and citrusy gin based cocktail. Vibrant orange to add a little cheer and colour to these wintry months.

Merry Christmas!
