Hi, Dave! First off, I want to say that I follow your channel for some time now and I'm a huge fan! I do cocktails for fun, at home. So, I did make this one with vodka and butterfly pea extract for cocktails (because this is all we have here in Southeast Europe, Empress Gin is not available around here). It turned out quite well. I was thinking to top it with Sprite but I didn't. The color was amazing once you poure the lime juice+Cointreau over the already blueish vodka. Thank you for the recipe!

This looks great! Is the purple colour from the gin itself?

@boozeontherocks 2 жыл бұрын

The purple comes from the the gin which contains Butterfly Pea Flower Tea. This ingredient is the dark purple that changes color when citrus juice (lemon or lime) is added. You can use these flowers to infuse gin, vodka, or rum. Or you could make tea with it.

@Felix.WhateverTheFuck 2 жыл бұрын

It's hard to find this gin to buy online, do you have any suggestion that might be as good as 1908 with the same color?

@boozeontherocks 2 жыл бұрын

That would depend on where you live and what is available. There is also H2 Craft Metamorphosis Indigo Gin. However if you cannot get that you can order some Butterfly pea flower tea and use it to infuse some of your favorite gin. That will give you the same effect.

@NicholasFiennes 2 жыл бұрын

What’s the reason for not shaking all three ingredients? Is it to get the colour gradient when you pour the lime/Cointreau into the gin?

@boozeontherocks 2 жыл бұрын

Nicholas, The original recipe would have been much lighter in colour, however you are correct. It would be to get the gradient and keep the original spirit strong. But you could shake all the ingredients together to make it easier.

blue + grey = purple?

@boozeontherocks Жыл бұрын

It's the reaction between the butterfly pea flower that is in the gin and the citric acid. That turns the dark purple to light purple
