    This is the Empress 1908 Gin version, however, you can use any dry gin you like.

    🌎 Origin

    Originally called the "Princess Kaiulani" the drink was first developed in the late 1920's at the famed Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach Hawaii.

    🍹 Ingredients

    • Ice
    • 1 ½ ounces Gin (Empress 1908 Gin will give the appearance you see, or you can use and dry gin)
    • 1 ounce Pineapple Juice (unsweetened)
    • ½ ounce Lemon Juice
    • ½ ounce Orgeat Syrup
    • Pineapple Slice or Wedge (optional garnish)

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🍸 Instructions

    1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
    2. In the cocktail shaker add the pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orgeat syrup.
    3. Close lid and shake for about 30 seconds.
    4. Open and strain into a tall collins glass that's filled with ice.
    5. Slowly pour the gin on the top (this way the alcohol will float).
    6. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, serve, and enjoy.

    I like adding a couple of the pineapple leaves from the crown before serving, just because they look fabulous!
