Empress Wu
The Empress Wu offers a twist on a classic Cosmopolitan, but with flavors inspired by China. Named after one of the nation’s real-life rulers, this cocktail embraces both strength and subtlety, just like Empress Wu herself. This spirit-forward mixed drink combines lychee liqueur and lime for a citrusy base, perfectly balanced by the tart sweetness of pomegranate. If you love a Cosmo, definitely try out the Empress Wu!
