The Frederick And Tonic

The Frederick and Tonic is the cleanest way to let this collaboration speak for itself. Built on Empirical X Frederick — with Douglas fir’s green snap, pecan’s warm depth, and angelica root’s earthy backbone — it’s a drink that feels familiar to gin lovers but delivers something entirely new. Crisp, layered, and effortlessly elegant, it’s Frederick’s favorite way to enjoy the spirit.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Empirical X Frederick

  • 3 oz Mediterranean Tonic

  • Ice and fresh citrus fruit


Method

  1. Add ice to a highball glass.

  2. Add Empirical X Frederick and top up with tonic.

  3. Garnish with a orange or lemon twist or leave bare for simplicity.


Whats the deal with Empirical X Frederick?

The Empirical X Frederick collaboration is rooted in a shared obsession with craft, origin, and detail, sitting between haute couture and spirit making.

Distinctly American materials are treated with the same precision you would expect from a couture atelier.

The profile lands in familiar territory for gin lovers: aromatic, bright, complex. Yet it is a completely new take that resists any old category. Fashion and flavor speaking the same uncategorized language.
