1908 Empress Gin Cocktail | Air Blossom

While I was Food & Beverage Manager at ENTYSE, the restaurant with the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Corner, I created this lovely, floral cocktail that uses Empress 1908 Gin. By heavily leaning into the Elderflower Liqueur, you get an incredibly refreshing cocktail with a stunning color.

This drink is phenomenal to sip on a spring evening. The deep color, combined with the floral aroma, turn into a new experience that really highlights the Empress 1908 for the lovely gin that it is.

This drink was featured in Brides.com’s signature Gin cocktails in 2023.
