Instructions

Description: The Eclipse of Thyme is a sophisticated gin cocktail that presents an alluring purple ombre effect, reminiscent of a twilight sky. Featuring a dry profile accentuated with herbal notes, this drink takes a unique turn as it sparkles upon service, dazzling the eyes as much as it pleases the palate. Ingredients: - 2 oz Dry Gin - 0.75 oz Crème de Violette - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.5 oz Thyme Simple Syrup - 1 Egg White - Edible Silver Leaf or Silver Edible Glitter - Fresh thyme sprig for garnish - Ice Type of Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Instructions: 1. Begin by making thyme simple syrup. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, add a handful of fresh thyme sprigs, and gently simmer until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool, then strain to remove the thyme. 2. In a shaker, combine the dry gin, crème de violette, fresh lemon juice, and thyme simple syrup. 3. Add the egg white to the shaker. This will be the secret to the unique visual effect and the frothy texture of the cocktail. 4. Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 5. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 6. Before straining the cocktail, sprinkle a pinch of silver edible glitter or add a small piece of edible silver leaf into the bottom of the coupe glass. 7. Double strain the cocktail into the glass to ensure a smooth pour with no ice shards or herbs. 8. Wait for a moment as the purple liquid settles, creating a natural gradient from the density of the egg white foam. 9. The edible silver will catch the light and cause the drink to sparkle, especially if served under soft lighting. 10. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig to reinforce the herbal character of the drink. The Eclipse of Thyme not only tastes exquisite with its dry, herbal complexity, but it also transforms into a visual spectacle as the glitter dances in the twilight hue of the cocktail.
