LEMON LILAC G&T⇩ 🌸
With citrus and florals setting the tone, emilylaurae crafts a G&T worthy of a lavish backyard soirée 🤩 Find the recipe below, complete with a lilac syrup that’s surprisingly easy to make at home! 👇

LEMON LILAC GIN & TONIC 🍋
◦ 2 oz Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin
◦ 1½ oz Meyer Lemon Juice
◦ 1 oz Lilac Syrup*
◦ 4 oz Grapefruit Tonic Water
◦Meyer Lemon Slices & Lilac Blossoms, to garnish

METHOD: Add the lilac syrup and Meyer lemon juice to your serving glass. Add ice to fill your glass ¾ of the way full before adding tonic water. Carefully float Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin on top using a bar spoon, to create a layered effect. Garnish with Meyer lemon slices and lilac blossoms & enjoy!

*To make the lilac syrup, add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar into a saucepan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add ½ cup of edible and washed lilac blossoms into the hot syrup and infuse for 30 minutes before straining. Let cool completely before using.
