About
This cocktail was created by Jordan Hughes (@highproofpreacher). You could definitely make it with another gin, but the Empress color really makes this one pop, and it’s a delicious gin to begin with; it also is the gin Jordan used. I happen to have some grapefruit oleo left over from the Classy Zombie, so this was the perfect excuse to use it up. I’d happily keep making this all patio season.Cheers y’all!
