Instructions

Description: Aurora's Whimsy is a visually stunning cocktail that changes color right before your eyes, embodying the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights. This cocktail uses the advanced technique of pH color-changing, achieved by mixing butterfly pea flower-infused gin with citrus elements. The essence is captured in its layers of flavor, from floral and herbal to a crisp citrusy finish. Ingredients: - 2 oz butterfly pea flower-infused gin - 1 oz elderflower liqueur - 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice - 0.5 oz simple syrup - 1 dash lavender bitters - Lemon twist for garnish Glass: Coupe glass Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing the butterfly pea flower-infused gin: steep 5-6 butterfly pea flowers in 8 oz of gin for at least 2 hours or until a deep indigo color is achieved, then strain the flowers out. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the butterfly pea flower-infused gin, elderflower liqueur, simple syrup, and lavender bitters. 3. Shake well with ice until chilled. 4. Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 5. Gently pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the back of a spoon to layer it on top of the drink. 6. Watch as the color of the cocktail transforms from deep indigo to a vibrant purple upon mixing. 7. Garnish with a lemon twist and serve immediately.
