Description: Dive into the unknown with Galactic Glow, a cocktail that takes tonic water into an uncharted territory of flavors. This concoction not only delights with its peculiar combination but also offers a visual spectacle, glowing under UV light, thanks to the quinine in tonic water. Its mysterious ingredient, butterfly pea flower, adds a natural, vibrant blue hue that changes to a majestic purple when mixed with citrus. Galactic Glow is more than a drink; it's an experience, perfect for those who crave adventure in their glass. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (a botanical gin is preferred for its complex flavors) - 1 oz Butterfly pea flower syrup (homemade or store-bought) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 4-6 oz Tonic water - Garnish: A thin slice of cucumber or a sprig of mint (for a refreshing aroma) - Ice cubes Glass: Serve in a highball glass to appreciate the mesmerizing color transformation and the gentle effervescence. Instructions: 1. Start by chilling the highball glass - fill it with ice water and set it aside for a minute. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, butterfly pea flower syrup, and fresh lemon juice with a handful of ice. 3. Shake well for about 15-20 seconds or until the mixture is well chilled. 4. Discard the ice water from the highball glass and fill it halfway with fresh ice cubes. 5. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass. 6. Gently pour tonic water over the back of a spoon to create a layering effect with the blue mixture at the bottom, transforming it to a captivating purple gradient. 7. Garnish with a slice of cucumber or a mint sprig to enhance the sensory experience. 8. Serve immediately and watch as the drink glows under UV light, turning your cocktail hour into an extraordinary spectacle. Note: Adjust the amount of tonic water according to taste and the desired intensity of the glow. The more tonic water you add, the more vivid the glow will be under UV light.
