Instructions

Description: Eclipse of Eden is a smoky, complex cocktail that balances the herbal sweetness of St. Germaine with the rich warmth of bourbon and brandy, while Amaro provides bitter complexity, and lemon adds a refreshing zest. It's an alcohol-forward drink with depth and sophistication, veering away from overt sweetness to offer an indulgent sipper for the refined palate. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Bourbon (choose a bourbon with a full body and smoky undertone) - 0.5 oz St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur - 0.5 oz Brandy (a well-aged VSOP for depth) - 0.5 oz Amaro (a herbaceous, less-sweet variety) - 0.25 oz Fresh lemon juice (to brighten the cocktail and cut through the richness) - 2 dashes of Angostura bitters (to add a layer of complexity) - Lemon twist, for garnish - Ice, preferably a large cube or sphere Glass: Serve in a chilled old-fashioned glass, which allows the aromas to concentrate and enhances the sipping experience. Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, St. Germaine, brandy, Amaro, and fresh lemon juice. 2. Add the Angostura bitters to bring everything together and round out the flavors. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the ingredients until well chilled, about 30 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture into the old-fashioned glass over the large cube or sphere of ice. This will keep your drink cold while diluting it minimally. 5. Express a lemon twist over the drink to release its oils, then rim the glass with it before placing it into the cocktail as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the layered flavors of the Eclipse of Eden; an ideal drink for a late evening unwind or a sophisticated nightcap.
