Instructions

Description: Fleur du Crépuscule, meaning 'Twilight Flower' in French, is a subtly intoxicating cocktail with a delicate floral essence and a graceful presentation. It's designed for those who appreciate the nuances of botanical flavors without the intensity of high-alcohol content. This cocktail balances the light bitterness of tonic with the gentle sweetness of elderflower and the crispness of cucumber, topped with a soft foam for a cloudlike finish. Ingredients: - 1 oz elderflower liqueur (like St-Germain) - 2 oz premium tonic water (chilled) - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 1 oz cucumber water (muddled cucumber strained through a fine sieve) - 1 egg white or 0.5 oz aquafaba (for a vegan alternative) - Edible flowers for garnish (such as violets or pansies) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and cucumber water. Add the egg white or aquafaba. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white or aquafaba, creating a smooth foam. 3. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth texture. 5. Gently pour the chilled tonic water down the side of the glass to preserve the foam layer. 6. Carefully place a few edible flowers on top of the foam for an enchanting floral presentation. Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass to showcase the elegant layers and foam cap. The wide bowl of the coupe also allows the aromas of the cocktail to gently waft towards the nose, enhancing the overall sipping experience.
