Happy Hour {Empress Royal Hawaiian}

Happy Friday! We’ve made it to week six in quarantine. Today I’m sharing another gorgeous and delicious Empress gin cocktail! As noted when I kicked off my happy hour series last week, I’m not a regular gin drinker, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the Empress recipes. Without further ado, I present the Empress Royal Hawaiian! (I made that, y’all!)

Empress Royal Hawaiian

Tall, tropical and tasty. If youโ€™ve ever wanted a sip of sunshine, the Royal Hawaiian is as close as youโ€™ll get.

Ingredients

  • 1ยฝ OZ EMPRESS 1908 GIN
  • 1 OZ PINEAPPLE JUICE
  • 1/2 OZ FRESH LEMON JUICE
  • 1/2 OZ ORGEAT SYRUP
  • PINEAPPLE SLICE

Method

Shake all ingredients except gin with ice. Strain into a collins glass with crushed ice, layer gin on top. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

Note: Oregat syrup is almond syrup. I purchased THIS bottle. I have not only enjoyed it in cocktails, but also a dab in my iced coffee!
