✨Kumquat & Thyme Sparkling Refresher with empress1908gin ✨ #ad 

Cheers my friends - as of this week, we’ve officially made it to Spring! Mix up this sparkling refresher and toast to the new season with your friends this week. It’s layered with fresh flavors and colors starting with the stunning purple of Empress 1908 Gin, which is distilled with eight different botanicals: juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms, and the Fairmont Empress Blend Tea. It’s then topped with a homemade thyme and kumquat simple syrup, and finished with a rather dry and bubbly pour of kombucha!

Here's how to make your own Kumquat and Thyme Sparkling Refresher with Empress 1908 Gin!

Thyme & Kumquat Simple Syrup 
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup water 
• 5 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 4 kumquats, sliced thinly

1. Pour your measured sugar and water into a saucepan and heat on medium.
2. Cook, stirring the mixture until your sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Add fresh thyme & kumquats and continue heating for 30 seconds before removing from heat and adding a lid to the top of the pan. 
4. Allow syrup to infuse for half an hour. 
5. Remove the thyme and kumquat slices and allow the syrup to cool completely before using, or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Kumquat & Thyme Sparkling Refresher
• Ice 
• 2 oz Empress 1908 Gin
• 1 ounce thyme & kumquat syrup 
• 6 ounces kombucha 
• Additional fresh thyme and kumquats to garnish

1. Add the ice, gin, syrup and kombucha into a glass stirring gently to combine.
2. Add a few fresh thyme sprigs and slices of kumquat to garnish before serving!
