There I said it, now face palm right? Could not be helped a post about Gin has to have a pun or at least a play on words. 2020 ended on a high note, I got to partner with Empress 1908 Gin and who wouldn’t love that. I even created my own version of a Clover Club.

Empress 1908 Gin
Live colourfully that seems to be the motto of Empress 1908 Gin. A motto that also seems to fit this gal and her blog perfectly. I am nothing if not colourful. So how could I not love a gin that changes from blue to pink to periwinkle to Indigo.
Let’s Make some Gin Cocktails
Back to the collaboration, an opportunity to test out a few cocktails or create my own. Hmmm, why not try both right. Kent an I set out working our way through the Signature Cocktails on their site.
