The classic G&T, but with the distinctive gin that gets its purple colour from butterfly pea blossoms. The beautiful colour and delicious taste of this gin is inspired by the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia.

Editor's Note

Empress 1908 Gin transforms the standard G&T into a visual centerpiece. The butterfly pea blossom infusion adds a subtle floral depth that pairs perfectly with a crisp citrus garnish.
