1 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
3/4 oz. Lillet Blanc
1/2 oz Italicus Liqueur
1/2 oz. Blended Lemon & Lime Juice
Spritz or rinse a chilled coupe, martini, or cocktail glass with absinthe….if you have it available.
Add remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into cocktail rinsed glass. Garnished in photo with dehydrated lime and edible flowers.
1 1/2 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
1 1/2 oz. Prosecco
3 oz. Mongibello blood orange juice
In your favorite cocktail glass over ice combine blood orange juice and prosecco. Top with Empress 1908.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a slice of blood orange when in season. This is a perfect brunch cocktail.
1 1/2 oz. Santa Cruz Cranberry Nectar
1 oz. Sage & Citrus foam
To create a foam you will need the following items: 100g water, 20g sugar, 3gelatin, 2 egg whites, 100g lemon juice, & 2 sage leaves.
Immersion blender to whip.
1st step is to combine and dissolve sugar and gelatin in the 100g of water. Then chill in fridge till cold. Combine the syrup with the egg white and lemon juice. Mix with an immersion blender and chill in fridge till cold. Whip again or use shakers to shake until foam consistency. Your should have enough foam to make a batch of The Sparkler cocktails.
To make your SPARKLER cocktail combine Cranberry and Mionetto over ice. Top with your citrus/sage foam. Top with Empress 1908 Gin. Garnish with a sage leaf if you have one handy. Any fresh herbs will do. Cheers!
2 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
1/2 oz. Lillet Blanc
1/2 Key Lime Juice
All together in a shaking tin combine the above ingredients and strain into your favorite cocktail glass over fresh ice.
For garnish I used smoked grapefruit. But, fresh grapefruit peel or a slice will work well.
1 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
1/2 oz. Carpano Antica Vermouth

Note: Don’t forget to stir before sipping.
1 1/2 – 2 oz. Empress 1908 Gin
5 oz. Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water

Other fantastic garnish ideas are mixed pink & black peppercorns, basil, & citrus.
