distilled in Victoria British Columbia and besides traditional botanicals that's used in the gin they added butterfly PT that gives the gin magnificent color and it changes once it's mixed with citrus juice let's go okay first we're going to make Empress gin and rosemary cocktail I will use a mixing glass oh and hope you guys like my new measuring cups don't you get to see everything I pour okay so we need one ounce and a half of gin next I will pour a quarter of an ounce of italico to the curb and if you're not familiar with the italic use is basically Italian spirit based on rose petals and bergamot next we need rosemary infused syrup which really easy to make which this sorry it's just water sugar and fresh rosemary pour it into a clean bottle and label it you will love this cocktail so much so you will need a lot of syrup and it's gonna last for a while since for each serving you need only half an ounce let's get my favorite cutting board and this will be a last ingredient fresh lemon juice I'm going to use squeezer and measure it usually I squeeze right into the mixing glass or shaker but these limes are so juicy so I want to make sure it wouldn't be too sour so it's really nice to see how it's becoming prettier and more purple when you add an aluminum juice now I'm gonna clean this area a little bit fill it up mixing glass for ice coverage with my favorite Boston shaker and shake it pretty hard for it in seconds I keep my glasses in the freezer so I will use pre chilled coupe glass and is always able to command to use regular and fine strainer while you enjoy this

clear ice cubes okay let's bring back our impress gin and we will need one ounce and a half you can try to mix with original I'm sure it tastes great but here I will be using elderflower tonic also it's personal preference but I wouldn't recommend to pour more than 3 ounces lightly stir it one time with a spoon and since it's not a traditional gin tonic we're not going to use lime we'll need one slice of grapefruit to make it look prettier I usually try to put it right on the side of the glass well let's clean this up so I can show you little bit closer how pretty this impressed tonic is next I'm going to show you how to make impress Aviation well classic version comes with a creme de violet liqueur but for this version we're not going to use it I'm gonna start with gin and we'll pour it 2 ounces next I'm gonna pour half an ounce of maraschino liqueur you can use any brand but I believe most of you will be using Luxardo since it's the most popular let's bring back my favorite cutting board and I need to squeeze 3/4 of an ounce of fresh lemon juice prepare for another color change and go okay now fill it up all the way to the top with ice can I also go on to shake it for like 20 seconds or so I will use small childress then strain with regular and fine strainer well let's enjoy another beautiful four and make sure that you really subscribe to this channel for garnish here
