\n | \n Gins of the Week: Top Color Changing Gin 🎨 \n\n Let’s take a look at some popular color-changing gins and see what makes them unique. \n
Color-Changing Magic ✨ These gins transform their color thanks to the butterfly pea flower, a natural ingredient that changes color when the pH level changes. When you add a mixer like tonic or lemon juice, the acidity causes this transformation, making your gin cocktail not only delicious but visually stunning! \nGuide: Try Regular Gin First 🍸 To fully appreciate the unique flavors of these color-changing gins, we recommend tasting them neat first. This way, you can enjoy the pure essence of the botanicals before the magic of color change takes over. Once you’ve experienced their true taste, mix in your favorite tonic or citrus to watch the color change unfold. \nRead about The Enchanting Story of Empress Gin 🌸🍸 below👇 \n\n\n Story: The Enchanting Story of Empress Gin 🌸🍸\n\nOnce upon a time in the picturesque city of Victoria, British Columbia 🇨🇦, nestled by the serene waters of the Inner Harbor, stood the majestic Fairmont Empress Hotel. 🏨 Since 1908, this grand hotel has been a beacon of elegance and sophistication, attracting travelers from all corners of the globe. 🌍 Its timeless charm, scenic vistas, and unparalleled afternoon tea service have made it a beloved destination for over a century. 🍵✨ \nAs the Empress Hotel gracefully transitioned into a new era, it retained its traditional elegance while embracing modern sophistication. Inspired by the hotel's rich history and renowned afternoon tea, the skilled artisans at Victoria Distillers embarked on a quest to create a gin that would embody the essence of this iconic landmark. Thus, Empress 1908 Gin was born, crafted in small batches using old-world pot stills. ⚗️ \nVictoria Distillers meticulously blended traditional botanicals with unique ingredients, creating a gin that was both traditional and modern. Among these botanicals were black tea, served at the Fairmont Empress, and the exotic butterfly pea blossom. 🌺 The butterfly pea blossom, an herb known for its vibrant indigo hue, added a spicy herbal note and complemented the gin's citrus flavors, creating a symphony of taste and color. 🌈 \nThe journey of Empress 1908 Gin is a tale of exquisite taste, soft texture, and striking presentation. Its captivating indigo color, derived naturally from the butterfly pea blossom, makes it the perfect base for the finest cocktails and drinks. 🍸 Each sip transports you to the grandeur of the Fairmont Empress, evoking the elegance and tradition of its famed afternoon tea. 🏰 \nThe meticulous crafting of Empress 1908 Gin involves the selective blending of handpicked tea leaves and carefully sourced botanicals. This delicate process ensures that each bottle of Empress Gin is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, offering a gin that is both delicate and opulent. 🌿🍋 \nWith its rich history, unique array of botanicals, and vibrant hue, Empress 1908 Gin stands out as a testament to the artistry and dedication of Victoria Distillers. Whether enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic or a creatively crafted cocktail, Empress Gin elevates the art of drink-making, allowing you to experience a piece of the Fairmont Empress Hotel's enchanting legacy with every sip.
