Description: The Blueberry Thyme Bourbon Elixir is a sophisticated blend of rich bourbon, the subtle sweetness of blueberries, fresh thyme, and zesty lemon. This cocktail is elevated with a unique twist of milk clarification, resulting in a smooth, crystal-clear drink with a creamy texture that surprises the palate. It's a visually stunning and refreshing cocktail, perfect for impressing guests. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon - 1 oz Blueberry-Thyme Syrup (recipe below) - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 4 oz Whole Milk - Ice Blueberry-Thyme Syrup: - 1 cup Fresh Blueberries - 1 cup Water - 1 cup Sugar - 5-6 Sprigs of Fresh Thyme Instructions: 1. **Make the Blueberry-Thyme Syrup**: - In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, sugar, and thyme sprigs. - Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. - Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, pressing lightly on the solids to extract more liquid. Discard the solids and let the syrup cool. 2. **Clarify with Milk**: - In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the bourbon, blueberry-thyme syrup, and fresh lemon juice. - Slowly add the whole milk to the mixture while stirring gently. The milk will curdle, which is necessary for the clarification process. - Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the curds to form fully. - Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or coffee filter. The result will be a clear liquid with a smooth, velvety texture. Be patient, as this may take some time. 3. **Assemble the Cocktail**: - Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. - Pour the clarified mixture into the shaker and shake well to chill. - Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish: - Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and a few fresh blueberries on a cocktail pick. Serve in: - Chilled coupe or martini glass. Enjoy this innovative and elegant cocktail, the Blueberry Thyme Bourbon Elixir, which perfectly balances rich bourbon flavors with the unexpected smoothness of milk clarification.
