Instructions

The Ephemeral Mist is a cocktail that perfectly balances the smoky depth of mezcal with the delicate floral notes of lavender and a refreshing citrusy undertone. Served in a chilled coupe glass, it's a drink that whispers of ancient gardens shrouded in morning fog and promises an escape to a world of refreshing, aromatic delight. Ingredients: - 2 oz Mezcal (preferably one with a lighter smoke profile) - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.75 oz Lavender Simple Syrup* - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - Club Soda (to top) - Garnish: Lavender Sprig and a Lemon Twist Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the mezcal, fresh lemon juice, lavender simple syrup, elderflower liqueur, and orange bitters. Fill the shaker with ice. 2. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 15-20 seconds. 3. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. 4. Top gently with a splash of club soda for a light effervescence. 5. Garnish with a fresh lavender sprig and a twist of lemon peel, expressing the oils over the drink before dropping it in. Lavender Simple Syrup: - 1 cup Water - 1 cup Granulated Sugar - 2 tablespoons Dried Lavender Flowers (culinary grade) To make the lavender simple syrup, combine water, sugar, and lavender flowers in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it steep for about 30 minutes. Strain out the lavender and let the syrup cool before using. It can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The Ephemeral Mist is a testament to the art of mixology, where every sip unveils layers of flavor, from smoky to floral to refreshingly tart, creating a cocktail experience that's light, nuanced, and utterly captivating.
