Instructions

The Eye of the Behooter is a cocktail that captivates with its depths of flavors and mysterious allure, much like the gaze of an enigmatic being. This cocktail combines the warmth of whiskey with the mystique of black raspberry liqueur, and the uniqueness of butterfly pea flower tea, which adds a magical color-changing effect when the ingredients are mixed. Garnished with a twist of orange peel to represent the "eye," this drink is not just a beverage but an experience. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Butterfly pea flower tea (chilled) - 1.5 oz Whiskey (a rye or bourbon works well) - 0.5 oz Black raspberry liqueur (Chambord or similar) - 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice - 0.5 oz Simple syrup - 1 Egg white (optional, for frothiness) - Ice - Orange peel, for garnish **Instructions:** 1. Begin by brewing the butterfly pea flower tea according to package instructions. Allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator. This will be the base of your cocktail and provide a stunning blue color. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the whiskey, black raspberry liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. If you're opting for a frothier texture, add the egg white as well. 3. Add ice to the shaker until it's about halfway full, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The goal is to chill the ingredients thoroughly and, if using egg white, to create a nice froth. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass, leaving enough room for the butterfly pea flower tea. 5. Slowly pour the chilled butterfly pea flower tea over the back of a spoon onto the whiskey mixture. This method helps to create a layered effect, with the blue tea gently resting on top. 6. Take a piece of orange peel and twist it over the glass to release the oils, then carefully shape it to resemble an "eye" and float it on top of the drink as the garnish. **Glass:** Serve in a chilled coupe glass to showcase the beautiful layering and color transition of the drink. The Eye of the Behooter is an adventure in a glass, perfect for those moments when you want to impress your guests with something that's not only visually stunning but deliciously complex.
