Empress 1908 Gin Launches “Gin-gle All The Way” Holiday Cocktail Experience with Independent Collection Hotels & Resorts

Empress 1908 Gin—the #1 ultra-premium gin in the U.S.—is bringing a vibrant splash of color to the holiday season with the launch of its new “Gin-gle All The Way” Holiday Cocktail Experience, created in partnership with Independent Collection® Hotels & Resorts. This immersive winter activation invites guests at select boutique hotels across the country to enjoy festive cocktails, seasonal pop-up bars, and exclusive Empress 1908 Gin experiences all December long.

A Holiday Welcome Like No Other

Guests checking into participating Independent Collection properties this month will be greeted with a complimentary Empress 1908 Gin specialty cocktail, such as the seasonal Winter Cranberry 75. Each welcome drink can be customized at the “Gin-gle Garnish Bar,” offering holiday touches like fresh cranberries, sugared rosemary, and bright citrus twists. It’s a warm—and refreshingly purple—introduction to the festivities ahead.

Interactive Holiday Pop-Up Bars

Throughout December, select hotels will host “Gin-gle All The Way” Holiday Pop-Up Bars, featuring interactive cocktail stations designed to showcase the bold flavor and color-shifting elegance of Empress 1908 Gin. Guests can experiment with garnishes, mixers, tonics, and seasonal ingredients while guided by Empress 1908 Gin experts. Whether you prefer botanical-forward blends or sparkling winter spritzes, each experience offers education, creativity, and plenty of holiday cheer.
