Gin has been something I’ve added into my cocktail-making repertoire in the last year and a half or so since our last trip to New York City. I’ve always been skeptical on colored and flavored liquors due to their usual high sugar content. I stand corrected on my skepticism with this 1908 Empress Gin, it’s smooth and the color is fun in cocktails. I came across this Spring Fever Cocktail on the little tag attached the gin and I am very satisfied with how refreshing it came out. This Spring Fever Cocktail is great for any season. Enjoy!
