The Gin That Puts on a Show Before You Even Take a Sip

Empress 1908 is not just a gin it's an experience. Named after the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC, this award-winning craft gin is infused with butterfly pea blossom, which gives it a stunning natural indigo color. Add tonic water or citrus and watch it magically shift to a soft blush pink right in the glass.

It's the most visually stunning bottle on any bar cart and it tastes just as good as it looks.

🥃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Floral and fresh juniper, rose, and a hint of ginger
• Palate: Smooth and balanced citrus zest, coriander, cinnamon, and butterfly pea blossom
• Finish: Clean and elegant with a gentle floral warmth

🍹 How to Enjoy It

• Empress & Tonic — pour over ice, add tonic, watch it turn pink. Garnish with lemon. Done.
• Empress Gin & Soda — lighter option, same stunning color shift
• Classic Martini — 2oz Empress, 0.5oz dry vermouth, lemon twist. Elegant.
• Gift it — the most giftable bottle in the spirits world. Arrives beautifully packaged.

🌟 The Color-Changing Magic

The indigo color comes entirely from butterfly pea blossom — a natural botanical with no artificial dyes. When you add an acidic mixer (tonic, citrus juice), the pH change causes the color to shift from deep indigo to a stunning blush pink. It's chemistry, it's art, and it's delicious.
