Instructions

The Crystal Garden Spritz is an enchanting cocktail that captures the essence of a mystical garden under the moonlight, using the advanced mixology technique of clarification for a crystal-clear appearance with a surprising depth of flavors. The drink is delicately garnished with an edible flower encased in a clear ice sphere, embodying the elegance and mystery of a hidden garden. **Glass:** Coupe Glass **Ingredients:** - 60ml Gin (Preferably a floral gin) - 30ml St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 30ml Clarified Lime Juice* - 15ml Simple Syrup - 90ml Clarified Tonic Water** - Edible Flowers (for garnish) - Clear Ice Sphere **Clarification Process:** *Clarified Lime Juice: The process involves combining fresh lime juice with agar-agar, a vegetarian gelatin substitute, allowing it to set and then straining it through a cheesecloth to achieve a clear lime juice. **Clarified Tonic Water: Combine tonic water with agar-agar, using the same process as the lime juice. The clarification of the tonic water reduces its bitterness and carbonation but retains its quinine flavor, making for a smoother version of the spritz. **Preparation:** 1. **Create the Clarified Components:** Prepare the clarified lime juice and tonic water at least a day in advance following the clarification process mentioned above. These components can be stored in the refrigerator. 2. **Prepare the Edible Flower Ice Sphere:** Place a small edible flower in an ice sphere mold, fill with water, and freeze until solid. This will serve as a beautiful, thematic garnish that slowly releases more floral notes as it melts. 3. **Cocktail Assembly:** - In a mixing glass, combine the gin, St-Germain, clarified lime juice, and simple syrup with ice. - Stir until well-chilled. - Strain into a chilled coupe glass. - Gently add the prepared clear ice sphere to the glass. - Slowly top with the clarified tonic water to maintain clarity. 4. **Garnish:** Carefully place the glass so that the light catches the ice sphere, illuminating the encapsulated flower and showcasing the crystal clarity of the drink. **Serving Suggestion:** Serve the Crystal Garden Spritz immediately, inviting your guest to enjoy the visual and olfactory beauty before sipping. As the clear ice sphere melts, it subtly changes the cocktail’s floral notes, making every sip a journey through a mystical garden. This cocktail combines art and science, offering a unique experience that engages all the senses.
