The producer of the popular and ultra-sophisticated Empress 1908 Gin has introduced a non-alcoholic variant of its product — the Empress 1908 0.0 Indigo. This new offering is developed by the same master distiller responsible for the brand's alcoholic gins.
The Empress 1908 0.0 Indigo utilizes a blend of natural botanical flavors, including juniper, grapefruit, and butterfly pea flower, and is designed to serve as a base for complex mixed drinks without alcohol. Options for use include "Empress 1908 signature mocktails like the Empress & Tonic 0.0 or the Indigo Daly, featuring Empress 1908 0.0 Indigo with fresh lemonade and iced tea." The launch is strategically timed to coincide with growing cultural movements toward mindful drinking and periods like Dry January.
