History
This is another cocktail created by our head bartender, events manager and resident cocktail chemist, Jake Rogers, this simple but elegant mixture of Seedlip, floral elderflower, lightly fruity lychee make a zingy and botanical sour and the addition of soda transforms this cocktail into a classy, non-alcoholic welcome drink, ideal for summery events like weddings and garden parties.
The Empress is one of our house creations, designed as a spin on the Lychee Martini, as with most sour style cocktails, by simply serving the drink in a tall glass, over ice and topped with soda, the short, sharp sour is transformed into a long, mild high-ball.
