Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your Collins glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Mix the Drink

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of Empress 1908 Gin and 1 ounce of fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  3. 3

    Pour and Top Up

    Remove the ice from your chilled Collins glass. Strain the gin and lime mixture into the glass. Top up with 4 ounces of ginger beer, pouring it gently to preserve the bubbles.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Add a lime wedge and fresh mint leaves as garnish to the drink. Optionally, you can gently slap the mint leaves between your palms before adding them to release more aroma.
