Dive into the era of speakeasies and flapper sophistication with this enigmatic cocktail that pays homage to the Prohibition period's clandestine allure. The Eclipse of 1920 is a sultry, layered drink, blending the richness of classic ingredients with a modern twist, capturing the spirit of rebellion and the complexity of the era. Served in a vintage coupe glass, this cocktail not only tastes divine but whispers stories of the past. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey: A nod to the bootlegger’s spirit of choice during Prohibition. - 0.5 oz Dark Rum: Adds depth and a hint of sweetness, representing the underground speakeasies' exotic allure. - 0.75 oz Homemade Fig Syrup: Symbolizing the innovation of Prohibition-era bartenders to create complex flavors. (To make: simmer equal parts water, sugar, and dried figs until thickened, then strain.) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice: Adds brightness and contrast, reminiscent of the era's zest for life against odds. - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters: A whisper of citrus that dances on the palate, evoking the hidden luxuries of the time. - Egg White: For a silky, smooth finish, mirroring the sophistication of 1920's jazz clubs. - Garnish: A thin slice of fig and a twist of orange peel, to enhance the drink's aromatic journey. Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine rye whiskey, dark rum, homemade fig syrup, fresh lemon juice, orange bitters, and egg white. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 30 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled vintage coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture. 5. Garnish with a thinly sliced fig and a twist of orange peel. The Eclipse of 1920 is a cocktail that transcends time, offering a sip of history with every meticulously crafted layer. It's a reminder of the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, making it not just a drink, but an experience to savor.
