Instructions

Dive into an extraordinary sensory experience with Eclipse on Ice, a cocktail that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also presents a visual spectacle reminiscent of a lunar eclipse. This drink marries the art of mixology with the allure of molecular gastronomy, featuring a surprising element of color change triggered by a natural pH indicator. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Gin (Preferably one with botanical notes) - 0.75 oz Butterfly pea flower tea syrup (chilled) - 0.5 oz Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) - 0.5 oz Simple syrup - 1 Egg white - Ice cubes - 3-4 drops of Tonic bitters - Edible gold powder for garnish (optional) **Advanced Mixology Technique: Dry Shake & Reverse Butterfly Drop** **Glass to Serve In:** Coupe Glass **Preparation:** 1. **Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Syrup Preparation:** - Brew a strong butterfly pea flower tea by steeping the dried flowers in hot water for about 5 minutes. Strain and dissolve equal parts sugar in the tea while it's still warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then chill. 2. **Dry Shake the Ingredients:** - In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. This is where the magic begins. Start with a dry shake (shaking without ice) for about 15 seconds. This technique helps emulsify the egg white, creating a smooth, frothy consistency without diluting the drink. 3. **Ice Shake:** - After the dry shake, add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 10-15 seconds. This step ensures the cocktail is well chilled and further aerates the mixture, enhancing its creamy texture. 4. **The Reverse Butterfly Drop:** - Strain the mixture into the chosen coupe glass. The frothy top layer should form, creating a perfect canvas for the following spectacle. Gently pour the chilled butterfly pea flower tea syrup over the back of a spoon onto one side of the drink, allowing it to cascade and settle at the bottom, creating a stunning, layered effect similar to an eclipse. 5. **Final Touch:** - Add 3-4 drops of tonic bitters on top of the foam for an added layer of complexity and a subtle quinine aroma. For an extravagant touch, lightly dust with edible gold powder. **Instructions for Enjoyment:** Instruct your patrons to gently stir the cocktail before sipping, merging the layers into a mesmerizing hue reminiscent of the night sky during an eclipse. The transition from a crisp, botanical gin forward sip to a sweet, slightly tart, and visually stunning experience will leave them in awe, marking Eclipse on Ice as not just a cocktail, but an adventure in a glass.
