We have release our next drink tutorial for “drinks to amaze”, the Empress Lavender Lemonade. This delicious and refreshing cocktail is perfect for warm days, picnic, or pool-side refreshing relaxation. Don’t worry, it’s also an excellent addition to your indoor bar as well. However, nothing says “refreshing” or “relaxing” like a lavender lemonade, taken to the next level with Empress 1908 Gin!
For this cordial, we decided to engineer the lemonade flavor using water, simple syrup, and lemon juice. However, you can also simplify the steps by using your favorite lemonade as the base for the cocktail. In fact, keep an eye out for future videos where we do exactly that. Garnish with a lemon twist, and watch your guests enjoy your new libation!
The Empress Lavender Lemonade
- 1 oz Water
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
- 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
- 1 oz Lavender Syrup
- 2 oz Empress 1908 Gin
- (Lemon Twist Garnish)
Shake water, simple syrup, lemon juice, and lavender syrup on ice. Pour into a wine glass filled with crushed ice, leaving room for your gin pour. Top the drink with the Empress 1908 Gin, and gently stir to break up with ice – trying to still maintain the layering of the gin over the lemonade. You can add sparkling water for a fizzier finish, but it was definitely and amazing gin cordial summer drink without it!
