Instructions

Description: The Eclipse Negroni is a visually dramatic and flavor-rich cocktail that utilizes the advanced technique of layering to create an effect reminiscent of an eclipse. This spin on the classic Negroni introduces a smoky layer, combining the traditional bitter and sweet elements with a visually stunning presentation. The drink evolves as you sip, shifting from the deep, smoky top layer to the bright, complex base, mirroring the phases of an eclipse. Ingredients: - 1 oz Gin - 1 oz Campari - 1 oz Sweet Vermouth - 0.5 oz Lapsang Souchong tea (strongly brewed and chilled) - Activated charcoal powder (a pinch) - Orange peel for garnish Glass: Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. Prepare the Lapsang Souchong tea in advance, allowing it to brew strongly. Once brewed, chill in the refrigerator. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir well until the outside of the glass feels cold. 3. Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with one large ice cube. 4. In a separate container, mix the chilled Lapsang Souchong tea with a pinch of activated charcoal powder until fully dissolved. This is your eclipse layer. 5. Gently float the tea and charcoal mixture on top of the cocktail using the back of a spoon to slow the pour and maintain the layer. Aim for a distinct separation between the brightly colored Negroni base and the dark "eclipse" top. 6. Carefully express an orange peel over the glass and garnish the drink, rubbing the peel around the rim to add an aromatic citrus note. 7. Serve immediately, inviting your guest to stir the cocktail before drinking, merging the layers and changing the visual effect, much like an eclipse transitioning in the sky. This cocktail combines traditional ingredients and innovative techniques to create a sensory experience that is as captivating visually as it is on the palate. The Eclipse Negroni is a testament to the art of mixology, inviting both curiosity and admiration.
