- 1 oz Lychee syrup (from canned lychee)
- 1½ oz Coconut water
- ¼ oz Lemon juice

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the lychee syrup, coconut water, and lemon juice to a cocktail glass and stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors.
- Add Ice and Layer Gin: Fill the glass with ice cubes. Slowly pour the Empress 1908 Gin over the ice so it gently layers above the base mixture, creating a beautiful gradient effect.

Notes
- Use canned lychee syrup for the best authentic sweet lychee flavor.
- Pour gin slowly over the back of a spoon to achieve the layered effect.
- Chill your glass beforehand for extra refreshment.
- Edible flowers should be food-grade and safe for consumption.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste for more or less tartness.
