  • 2 oz Empress Gin

Instructions

  • Gently float Empress Gin on top using the same spoon technique.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • To maximize the layered effect, pour the gin very gently over the spoon.
  • A crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio helps balance the syrup’s sweetness.
  • If your butterfly pea syrup isn't sweetened, adjust with a splash of simple syrup.
