Empress 1908 Gin is collaborating with Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts — a group of boutique hotels — to create an elevated holiday cocktail experience. Available throughout the month of December, the festive initiative is titled 'Gin-gle All The Way.'
The seasonal holiday cocktail experience includes a complimentary welcome drink like the Winter Cranberry 75, which guests can customize at the 'Gin-gle Garnish Bars,' alongside dedicated 'Gin-gle All The Way' Holiday Pop-up Bars with "interactive Empress 1908 Gin cocktail stations and DIY garnish experiences." The immersive 'Gin-gle All The Way Igloo Experience' at Rooftop at The Envoy – The Envoy Hotel, Boston, MA, is also noteworthy. This activation involves heated outdoor structures and exclusive drink recipes like the Gin-gle Bell Hot Toddy, Winter Garden Spritz, Pomegranate Polar Spritz, and Pear Tree Spritz.
