Instructions

Indulge in the Eclipse Sour, a visually stunning whisky cocktail that embodies the mystique of a lunar eclipse. Its gradient effect, from deep burgundy to a bright, fiery orange, captures the awe of this cosmological event, while its flavors are a complex blend of smoky, sweet, and citrus notes. Perfect for whisky aficionados and cocktail lovers looking for something out of the ordinary. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Smoked Whisky - 1 oz Fresh Blood Orange Juice - 1/2 oz Blackberry Liqueur - 1/2 oz Maple Syrup - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1 Egg White (for froth and silky texture) - Garnish: Charred Orange Wheel and Fresh Blackberry - Ice **Glass:** - Serve in a chilled coupe glass for elegance and to showcase the gradient effect. **Method:** 1. **Preparation:** Begin by chilling your coupe glass in the freezer. This ensures your cocktail stays colder for longer, enhancing the flavor profile. 2. **Mixing:** In a cocktail shaker, combine the smoked whisky, fresh blood orange juice, blackberry liqueur, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Add the egg white last. This sequence helps to prevent early frothing. 3. **Dry Shake:** First, shake the mixture vigorously without ice. This is called a dry shake and is essential for creating a rich, silky foam from the egg white. 4. **Wet Shake:** After the dry shake, add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously. This second shake chills the cocktail while maintaining the frothy texture. 5. **Gradient Effect:** Strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass. The ingredients naturally create a beautiful gradient from the dark hues of the blackberry liqueur at the bottom to the lighter, fiery orange at the top, emulating an eclipse. 6. **Garnish:** Finally, gently float a charred orange wheel along with a fresh blackberry on the frothy top layer of the cocktail. The charred orange adds a smoky aroma that complements the smoked whisky, while the blackberry adds a fresh visual and taste contrast. 7. **Serving:** Serve immediately and watch as your guests are mesmerized by the Eclipse Sour’s visual and taste complexity, a true homage to the beauty and mystery of a lunar eclipse. The Eclipse Sour is not just a cocktail; it’s an experience. It marries the art of mixology with the enchantment of a celestial phenomenon, making it a perfect signature drink for special occasions or whenever you seek to escape the ordinary.
