Where can I find Empress gin?

Check your local liquor store. I found mine at Trader Joe's and at Total Wine.

Does Empress gin have lavender in it?

Empress gin does not have lavender in it. The lavender hue comes from butterfly pea blossoms, an exotic blue flower grown throughout Asia.

What is Empress Gin good with?

Empress gin pairs well with tonic, club soda, elderflower liqueur, and regular or lavender lemonade because of its fragrant citrus notes. Adding citrus juice is a great way to turn Empress gin into tasty cocktails.

Why is Empress 1908 purple?

The natural purple in Empress gin comes from the dried butterfly pea flowers that have made Empress gin well known as the Indigo gin.

Why did my Empress gin turn blue?

Adding citrus juice will turn the butterfly pea flower into shades of blues, purple, and drink. The flower's magical scientific property makes it fun to work with. Empress gin uses butterfly pea flowers as one of its eight ingredients. When mixed with lemonade or tonic water, the color changes into shades of indigo, blue and pink.

Wet the edges of your favorite cocktail glass with water or lime wedges. Then dip the rim into the cocktail sugar and set aside.

Add ice to the shaker, cover the lid, and shake the drink together until the shaker turns icy to the hands.
Remove the top lid and pour into the rimmed glasses.
Froth the egg white with a frother until smooth but not stiff.

Notes

Use more lime juice if you like the stronger tangy sour taste.
Lime lemonade instead for a less zingy taste.
Add more lavender syrup if you want your drink a bit sweeter.
Use the lavender bitters with caution, as it is strong.
Use a small bowl to froth the egg white. A larger bowl where the end of the frother doesn't submerge makes it harder to foam up.
Skip the egg white if you prefer not to have it.
Mix 2 colors of rock sugars for a more festive feel.
