One of our neighbors gave us a bottle of Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin as a thank-you for helping around our building, and it’s a lovely gin that makes a really pretty martini! I only want to use this for classic drinks because I don’t want that gorgeous color or the delicate flavors being eclipsed by stronger ingredients.

Number 1 reason you should be drinking #empressgin

[elminx]

my butterfly pea experiments begin!

Right now I'm steeping a "tea" that will be turned into ice cubes but I am also going to infuse some vodka and make a simple syrup with it because...that's how I roll.

(it's also very easy to do all of these things since you need like 3 flowers to get 2 cups of liquid to turn blue so I have a lot of this to work with)

I have to buy some butterfly pea flowers for a project that I'm working on and I'm very excited to get to work with this botanical firsthand. The magical properties of this seem pretty obvious to me (it literally changes colors) but I'm curious if any of y'all use it in your magic in any way. There are so many immediate applications that come to mind in potion making for me - it can be made into syrup, frozen into ice cubes, or infused into liquor.

I cannot wait to find out more!

Dethklok as different types of alcoholic beverages

Toki- Lemon Drop Shots! they’re so good and taste like alcoholic sunshine in your mouth.

Murderface- Whiskey on the rocks, specifically Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey. It’s an acquired taste but good either way.

Skwisgaar- Empress Gin and Blueberry cocktail. It just feels…royal.

Nathan- there’s 2 for Nathan, just a pint of beer (budweiser maybe, it’s between that and Corona) or an Irish Car Bomb (because heh…that’s brutal.)

Pickles- Irish Car Bomb (for obvious reasons) and a long island iced tea.

Added bonuses!

Charles- Scotch on the rocks! simple and sophisticated like that gorgeous man

Dick- Malibu Bay breeze

Magnus- Rum and Coke!

Abigail- Jameson and Gingerale

Introducing the first in my line of Pokémon cocktails - The Shadow Ball!

•1 oz Lavender Syrup

•1 oz Lemon Juice

•blackberries (muddled)

•mint (muddled, garnish)

•soda water

•ice

Gengar is a member of my dream team, and I first encountered his pre-evolutions in Lavender Town while playing Fire Red. As such, I went for a sort of lavender blackberry mojito. I didn’t think I was much of a gin person, but this drink is worthy of world champions! Stay tuned as I workshop cocktails for each member of my dream team.

This martini is made with Lillet Blanc, a French apéritif, with notes of orange, mint, and vanilla.

Summertime means Aviations, apparently!

2oz Empress Gin (you can use any gin, but if you want that color it needs to be a pea flower gin)

1/2oz Creme de Violet

1/2oz Luxardo

3/4oz lemon- about half a lemon

Those aren't standard proportions- usually it calls for less creme de violet but like. Any time a cocktail calls for 1/4oz of anything other than fernet branca I'm kind of like why even bother. And it's an Aviation. You're only making it because you have a bottle of creme de violet and you think a Water Lily is too sweet.

(Any time a cocktail calls for more than 1/4oz of fernet I am out the door. "The bartender's handshake" fuck right off, why don't I "bartender's handshake" my fist in your face.)

might make a cocktail with creme de violette and empress gin just for the purplest alcoholic drink of all time

[gothicprep]

something I need to make a point of doing while I’m not in pennsy for the time is scoping out beverage distributors for beers and liquors I can’t usually find.

if you don’t already know, pennsy has really bizarre liquor laws. it’s gotten better over time, but it’s still very restrictive. im never not going to quietly lose my mind when im out of the state and see Jack Daniels on sale at a cvs. and you eventually get tired of having to drive to new jersey to buy lillet blanc. or the rose version of empress gin so you can use it as a base for the dumb cocktail i like which is it, rose water, lemon juice, and club soda. I’m so fucking not beating the pretentious allegations.

I don’t know if the alcohol situation is significantly better here, but playing around with new cocktail concepts and old ones worth revisiting is probably an okay use of my time. provided I’ve gotten done with everything I need to in the day and all.

Oh sorry it seems we’re reaching the forties! Maybe you’re on 49? This counts as another ask I think :P

This is magical ask #50! This means I grant an asker request, which I will honor. Because I have magic powers, I happen to know that @intox-princess sent this ask!

Her request was that I make a drink out of the five most colorful alcohols I own, so thanks to her tonight I’m sipping on a cocktails I’m calling the Evil Red Banana

It’s empress gin, Campari, aperol, italicus, and crème de banana
