The nose leads with fresh cucumber and bright lemon zest over the butterfly pea blossom floral base, more refreshing and vegetal than the original expression. The palate is clean and light-bodied, with herbaceous cucumber carrying through to a citrus-bright finish with mild juniper warmth.

Empress Cucumber Lemon builds on the same butterfly pea blossom foundation and pH-reactive color-shift as the original 1908, adding cucumber and lemon as primary botanical accents. Produced at Victoria Distillers in British Columbia. The color shifts from indigo to pink on contact with citrus, making it a strong visual sell for cocktails and spritz presentations.
