Why is Empress Gin so good?

Avoiding certain foods along with pomegranate is recommended . Chocolates, spinach, tea, coffee, and alcohol have compounds in them that inhibit the absorption of iron. Keep at least a 30-minute gap between these foods and pomegranate consumption for maximal iron absorption.

Which juice is better with gin?

You can't go wrong with a juniper-forward London dry gin, which works with nearly any juice you can source, from lemon and lime to orange and grapefruit. Softer gins can work great, too, but depending on their botanical makeup, they may pair better with sweeter OJ or more sour grapefruit .

💭Frequently Asked Questions

How to store the leftovers?

This drink is best enjoyed right away, and we don't recommend making it in advance. However, if you need to save leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Do not freeze. Please note that the ginger beer will become very flat, and the ice will melt in the drink, watering it down.

How to make a large batch:

If serving a crowd, grab a punch bowl or large pitcher. Add in lime juice, pomegranate juice, and gin. For a festive look, add in pomegranate arils, fresh lime slices, and small sprigs of rosemary. Stir to combine, and store in the fridge until it's time to serve, up to 24 hours in advance.

When it's time to serve, add ice to the bowl or pitcher, followed by ginger beer. Give it a quick stir, and ladle into ice-filled glasses. Enjoy!
