Instructions

The Azure Smoke is a visually stunning cocktail that incorporates an advanced mixology technique known as smoke infusion, adding a layer of complexity and a smoky aroma that pairs beautifully with the cocktail's crisp, botanical flavors. The smoke infusion is achieved using a smoking gun loaded with cherry wood chips, which complements the herbal and citrus notes of the drink. **Glass**: Old Fashioned Glass **Ingredients**: - 2 oz Gin (preferably one with floral notes) - 1 oz Blue Curaçao (for the vibrant azure color) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for brightness) - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (to balance the acidity) - 1 Egg White (for texture and froth) - A pinch of Edible Silver Dust (for a shimmering effect) - Ice - Cherry Wood Chips (for smoke infusion) **Garnish**: - A sprig of Thyme and a twist of Lemon Peel **Instructions**: 1. **Preparation of the Smoking Gun**: Before creating the cocktail, prepare your smoking gun with cherry wood chips. Have a small but deep tray ready to capture the smoke and a plastic wrap to cover the Old Fashioned Glass later. 2. **Mixing the Cocktail**: In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, Blue Curaçao, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Open the shaker and fill it with ice, then close and shake again vigorously until well-chilled. 4. **Smoke Infusion**: Place the cocktail into the Old Fashioned Glass without ice. Use the smoking gun to fill the tray with smoke, and quickly cover it with an inverted glass filled with smoke. Let it sit for about 30 seconds to allow the cocktail to infuse with the smoke's aroma and flavor. 5. While the cocktail is infusing, cover the glass containing the drink with plastic wrap to trap the smoke inside. Let it infuse for about a minute. 6. Carefully remove the plastic wrap, allowing the smoke to waft out for a dramatic presentation. 7. **Final Touches**: Sprinkle a pinch of edible silver dust into the cocktail and stir gently to create a shimmering effect. 8. Add a large ice cube to the glass. 9. **Garnish** with a sprig of thyme and a twist of lemon peel on the rim of the glass. The Azure Smoke is a cocktail that not only engages the palate with its balanced and refreshing flavors but also creates a multisensory experience through its aromatic smoke and visually stunning presentation. Enjoy the fusion of art and science in your glass!
