Instructions

The Black Gimlet is a mysterious twist on the classic gin-based cocktail, incorporating activated charcoal for a deep, velvety black hue that makes for a stunning visual presentation and a subtle earthy undertone. Activated charcoal is also known for some health benefits, like detoxification, which adds a unique selling point to this cocktail. This drink is perfect for those looking to enchant their guests with something out of the ordinary, both in flavor and aesthetics. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (a botanical gin is preferred) - 1 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup - 0.25 oz Activated Charcoal Solution (1 part activated charcoal powder to 2 parts water) - Ice Cubes - Edible Silver Leaf (optional, for garnish) - Fresh Lime Wheel (for garnish) Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, add the gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and activated charcoal solution. 2. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a smooth texture without any charcoal particles. 4. If opting for the silver leaf, gently place a small piece onto the surface of the drink for a striking contrast against the black liquid. 5. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. 6. Serve immediately and watch as your guests marvel at the elegance and mystery of the Black Gimlet. Note: Always inform guests when serving activated charcoal, as it can interfere with the absorption of certain medications.
