Sweet and fruity layered cocktail featuring Empress Gin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Empress Gin is one of my favourite bottles in my liquor collection. I adore the beautiful indigo hue which turns pink when combined with an acidic mixer. The colour comes from the infusion of butterfly pea flower. Today’s recipe is from Empress Gin’s Instagram @empress1908gin – the Empress Strawberry and Basil Smash! It was so beautiful and delicious, I had to share on the blog. Make sure you follow Empress 1908 for more recipes featuring this stunning spirit. Pick up a bottle at your local liquor store and try it for yourself!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empress Gin is distilled in Victoria on Vancouver Island. It is named after the luxurious Empress Hotel. This gin features a few non-traditional botanicals such as butterfly pea blossom, grapefruit peel, ginger root, Fairmont Empress tea, and cinnamon bark. These botanicals combined with a couple traditional elements gives Empress its sophisticated and balanced profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
