Description: The Elixir of Versailles is a sumptuous cocktail that celebrates the lavishness and extravagance of the French monarchy. This cocktail is a homage to the illustrious history of the LOUIS XIII Cognac, using its complex palette of flavors to create a sophisticated drink that's perfect for a special occasion or as a luxurious after-dinner indulgence. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz LOUIS XIII Cognac - 1/2 oz Grand Marnier Quintessence - 1/4 oz Crème de Violette - 6 drops of Peychaud's Bitters - 24k gold leaf for garnish - 1 sugar cube - A spritz of absinthe - Orange twist for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, place the sugar cube and saturate it with the Peychaud's Bitters. 2. Muddle the sugar and bitters until the sugar is dissolved. 3. Add the LOUIS XIII Cognac, Grand Marnier Quintessence, and Crème de Violette. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently until well chilled. 5. Take a chilled, vintage crystal coupe glass and spritz it with absinthe to coat the interior. Discard the excess absinthe. 6. Strain the mixture into the absinthe-washed coupe glass. 7. Float a small piece of 24k gold leaf on top of the cocktail for a touch of opulence. 8. Garnish with a delicately expressed orange twist, ensuring oils are released over the glass. Glass: Serve in a vintage crystal coupe glass, adding to the regal experience of the drink. The crystal will elegantly compliment the golden hues of the cocktail and the shimmering gold leaf.
