Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass (optional)

Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you gather ingredients. This keeps the drink colder longer.

2

Prepare glass and ice

If you used ice water to chill, discard it. Fill the chilled highball or Collins glass with fresh large ice cubes until about 3/4 full.

3

Add gin and lemon

Measure and pour 2 oz Empress 1908 Gin into the glass, then add 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice. The lemon brightens the floral, slightly tea-like notes of the gin.

4

Top with ginger beer and gently stir

Carefully pour 4 oz Fever-Tree Ginger Beer over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation. Use a bar spoon to gently stir the drink once or twice to combine — avoid vigorous stirring to retain fizz.

5

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lemon wheel or a long lemon twist over the glass to release oils, then drop it in or hang it on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw if desired.
