Instructions

Description: Enigma Elixir is a cocktail that embodies the theme of a continuous cycle, represented through the circular muddling of basil and the spiral garnish that adorns the drink. The mysterious green hue is achieved through the use of green Chartreuse and a hint of melon liqueur, providing both an air of mystery and a refreshing flavor profile. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical variety) - 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse - 0.5 oz Melon Liqueur - 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup - 4-6 Fresh Basil Leaves - 1 Egg White (optional for a frothier texture) - Ice - Club Soda - Garnish: Basil sprig and lime peel spiral Type of glass: Old Fashioned Glass Instructions: 1. In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the basil leaves with the simple syrup, expressing the oils without tearing the leaves to maintain the cyclical theme. 2. Add the gin, Green Chartreuse, melon liqueur, lime juice, and an egg white (if using) to the shaker. 3. Perform a dry shake (without ice) to emulsify the egg white. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Double strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with ice, to keep the drink’s appearance clean and align with the continuous cycle theme. 6. Top with a splash of club soda to add a refreshing effervescence. 7. Carefully craft a lime peel spiral and place it into the glass as a garnish, spiraling down onto the drink to mimic the cycle theme. 8. Finish by floating a fresh basil sprig atop the drink for a fragrant and visual nod to the cocktail's key herbal ingredient. Serve immediately, inviting the drinker to dive into the enigmatic blend of flavors with each sip tracing the cycle from the complex, herby start to the refreshing, effervescent finish.
