Recipe: Empress French 75

This Empress French 75 puts a vibrant twist on the classic Champagne cocktail, swapping the traditional top-off for a silky foam finish that showcases any indigo gin’s striking violet hue. The floral, citrus-forward notes shine against bright lemon and a hint of sweetness for a cocktail that’s as striking to look at as it is to drink.

The smooth foam texture lifts the floral botanicals and tart lemon in this drink for a finish that feels both festive and refined.
