Flavored Gin | 42.5% ABV (85 Proof) | 750mL | Cucumber, Lemon, Jasmine & Cardamom | Victoria Distillers | Canada
Process & Profile
Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin is a bright, refreshing gin from Victoria Distillers, created as a lively citrus-and-cucumber expression in the Empress 1908 lineup. Inspired by the flavors of afternoon tea, this gin blends eight botanicals to create a crisp, aromatic profile built around lemon, cucumber, jasmine, juniper, and delicate spice.
The flavor is clean, fresh, and cocktail-friendly, with bold lemon citrus, cool cucumber, classic juniper, fragrant jasmine, and subtle cardamom spice. Cucumber is infused after distillation to preserve a fresh, crisp taste, while the citrus and florals add brightness and lift.
Bottled at 85 proof, Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin has enough structure for cocktails while staying smooth and refreshing. It is a strong choice for gin and tonics, cucumber martinis, gimlets, French 75s, Collins-style drinks, spritzes, and light summer cocktails.
