Instructions

Description: The Frostbitten Botanist is a cocktail that encapsulates the crisp, serene essence of a winter's eve. It combines the aromatic complexity of gin with the warm, sweet notes of winter spices, and the bright freshness of citrus, alluding to the fleeting glimpses of sunshine during the short days of the season. A touch of egg white is incorporated to present a velvety texture, reminiscent of the season's first snowfall. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a dry style to complement the spices) - 1/2 oz Grand Marnier (for a hint of orange flavor) - 1/2 oz Simple syrup (infused with cinnamon, clove, and star anise) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Egg white (for frothiness and texture) - 2 dashes Orange bitters - A small sprig of rosemary and cranberries for garnish - Ice, for chilling Glass: - Serve in a chilled coupe glass Instructions: 1. Begin by infusing your simple syrup: Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan with a stick of cinnamon, a few cloves, and a star anise pod. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then allow to cool. Strain out the spices before using. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, Grand Marnier, spiced simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, egg white, and orange bitters. 3. Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 4. Add ice to the shaker, and shake again until well-chilled. 5. Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture without any ice shards or pulp. 6. For the garnish, lightly burn the tip of a rosemary sprig with a lighter to release its aromas, and float it on top of the drink along with a few cranberries. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of botanical gin and winter spice notes in the Frostbitten Botanist.
