How To Make a French Gimlet Cocktail With Empress 1908 Gin

Today on Booze On The Rocks, we make a French Gimlet. This cocktail is a variation of the original Gimlet. The substitution of a London Dry style gin for Empress 1908 and an elderflower liqueur for simple syrup add floral notes and a light royal purple color which gives it a certain "je ne sais quoi" that hard to describe quality. Try it out and let me know what you think.
