Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas: The Lavender-Hued Empress French 75

Dec 14, 2025

🎄 On the third day of Christmas, White River Liquor gave to me… an Empress French 75!

This cocktail takes the classic French 75 and gives it a stunning lavender twist thanks to Empress 1908 Gin—bright, botanical, and totally festive. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Empress 1908 Gin

  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice

  • 0.5 oz simple syrup

  • Zonin Lemon Prosecco (to top)

  • Lemon twist (garnish)

Directions:

  1. Add Empress Gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice.

  2. Shake well until chilled.

  3. Strain into a flute or coupe.

  4. Top with chilled Zonin Lemon Prosecco.

  5. Garnish with a lemon twist.

The result? A sparkling, lavender-hued cocktail that’s as gorgeous as it is delicious—perfect for holiday toasts, brunches, or any festive gathering. 🥂💜
