Edison Circle
Alcoholic Cocktail Any Glass 6 ingredients

Recipe

  • 2 oz. Gin (Blue Empress Gin Recommended)
  • 0.5 oz. St. Germain or any other Elderflower Liqueur
  • 0.5 oz. Lemon Juice
  • 0.5 oz. Hibiscus Syrup Float
  • 1 part Tonic Water (Elderflower Recommended)
  • Ice

Instructions

We recommend a larger glass for this one. A large tulip glass works, as do mason jars. Fill the tulip glass half full with ice. Begin to build drink by adding the gin, followed by St. Germain and lemon juice. Mostly fill rest of the glass with elderflower tonic water, leaving a small gap at the top of the glass. Finish off by adding a hibiscus syrup float. Serve with or without a straw. If available, garnish top of glass with 4-5 hibiscus leaves. If made using Empress Gin, and in the correct order, the drink will change color as it is made.

About Edison Circle

What can we say, this one is simply delicious. Try it using the blue Empress gin to get the full effects, but it's tasty either way. This one is perfect for a hot summer day as it's insanely refreshing and crisp. However, we recommend sipping this one year-round. If it's too sweet for you, we simply recommend toning down the Elderflower liqueur or entirely eliminating the hibiscus syrup, although you'll miss out on the vibrant color changes it undergoes while crafting it.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Any Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!

This is definitely in my top 3 favorite summer drinks. The tonic water gives it a refreshing kick and I’m a sucker for most anything with elderflower in it. Definitely give this one a try!
