Dive into the Northern Lights with the Aurora Elixir, a cocktail that mesmerizes not only with its appearance but also with its unique flavors. This cocktail utilizes the spherification technique to create vibrant, edible pearls that mimic the ethereal dance of the Aurora Borealis in your glass. **Ingredients:** - 1 oz gin - 1/2 oz elderflower liqueur - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 1/2 oz green tea syrup - 1 oz tonic water - 5-6 mint leaves - Edible pearls (made with spherification technique) in flavors of blueberry and raspberry - 1 drop of edible glitter (optional) **For the Green Tea Syrup:** - 1 cup water - 1 cup sugar - 2 green tea bags **Spherification Ingredients:** - 1 cup blueberry juice - 1 cup raspberry juice - 1 g sodium alginate - 5 g calcium lactate **Glassware:** - Serve in a large coupe glass **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare Green Tea Syrup:** Boil 1 cup of water, remove from heat, and steep the green tea bags for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and mix in 1 cup of sugar until dissolved. Let cool and set aside. 2. **Spherification:** - For the blueberry pearls, blend blueberry juice with 0.5 g of sodium alginate until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2.5 g of calcium lactate in a bath of water. - Using a dropper, drip the blueberry mixture into the calcium bath to form spheres. Allow them to set before rinsing and storing in water. - Repeat the same process for the raspberry juice to make raspberry pearls. 3. **Cocktail Mixture:** - In a shaker, muddle the mint leaves with the gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, and green tea syrup. - Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. - Double strain into a large coupe glass. 4. **Assembly:** - Slowly layer the tonic water over the top of the cocktail. - Carefully add a spoonful of both blueberry and raspberry pearls for visual effect. - Optionally, add a drop of edible glitter for a shimmering touch. Watch as the pearls rise and fall gracefully, creating a mesmerizing aurora effect within the glass. Enjoy the interplay of floral, citrus, and berry notes as you sip this captivating cocktail.
