Instructions

Dive into the heart of the Mediterranean with this cutting-edge cocktail, Azure Serenity. This drink captures the essence of the region's pristine waters and vibrant landscapes. It combines the smoky allure of mint-infused mezcal with the freshness of Mediterranean ingredients, creating a sophisticated, layered experience. **Glass:** Highball **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Mint-infused Mezcal (Prepare in advance by steeping fresh mint leaves in mezcal for 48 hours, then strain) - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.75 oz Lavender Syrup - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - Sparkling Water - Fresh Mint and Lavender for garnish - Ice Cubes (Preferably large cubes for slower dilution) **Garnish:** Sprig of fresh mint and a lavender twig for an aromatic allure. **Instructions:** 1. **Preparation of Mint-Infused Mezcal:** Two days prior to serving, infuse your mezcal by adding fresh mint leaves to the bottle. Allow the mint to steep, gently shaking the bottle a couple of times a day. After 48 hours, strain the mezcal to remove the mint leaves, ensuring a clear, minty spirit. 2. **Molecular Foam (Optional Advanced Technique):** To add an innovative twist and texture to your cocktail, create a lavender foam. Combine 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup with 1/4 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of soy lecithin powder in a small bowl. Use a hand blender to aerate the mixture until a thick foam forms. Let it rest for a minute to stabilize. 3. In a shaker, combine the mint-infused mezcal, fresh lemon juice, lavender syrup, elderflower liqueur, and orange bitters. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into the highball glass filled with large ice cubes. 5. Top the drink off with a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing effervescence. 6. Carefully spoon a generous layer of the lavender foam over the top of the cocktail to add a luxurious texture and an aromatic punch. 7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lavender twig. 8. Serve with a straw and instruct the guest to stir the cocktail gently before sipping, to blend the layers of flavors and textures. Azure Serenity is a testament to the art of mixology, marrying traditional flavors with modern techniques for a truly unforgettable drinking experience. Enjoy the sensory journey through the Mediterranean with each sip!
