A Royal Cocktail From Empress 1908
A fresh, springtime cocktail using the brand’s new Elderflower Rose Gin.

Now widely available across British Columbia and coming soon to Alberta, Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose honours Victoria, known as The City of Gardens, and NUVO has a fantastic cocktail recipe with which to celebrate its release.
