Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin is made by Victoria Distillers in Canada. The gin is inspired by the accompanying flavors of afternoon tea and uses eight botanicals.
It’s all quite bright and fresh with a balanced, airy sweetness that lingers on the gently peppered finish with hints of clove and lemon zest. Almost no need for the citrus in this G&T. Other more elaborate cocktail possibilities abound.
