Instructions

Description: Gatsby's Reverie is a modern homage to the grandeur and mystery of 1920s speakeasies, using contemporary mixology techniques to craft an elegant yet approachable cocktail. Combining the boldness of gin with the subtle warmth of black tea syrup and floral notes, this drink captures the imagination and mystery of the roaring twenties with every sip. Ingredients: - 2 oz London Dry Gin - 0.75 oz Black Tea Syrup (steep strong black tea, mix with equal parts sugar until dissolved) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.25 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - Egg white (optional for texture) - Edible gold leaf (for garnish) - Dried lavender sprig (for garnish) Instructions: 1. First, dry shake (without ice) the gin, black tea syrup, lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, orange bitters, and egg white (if using) to emulsify and combine the ingredients. 2. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously once more until well-chilled. 3. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a silky texture. 4. Delicately float a piece of edible gold leaf on top of the frothy head. 5. Garnish with a sprig of dried lavender for an aromatic touch as you sip. Glassware: Serve in a coupe glass. This cocktail harmonizes with the era's lavish parties and clandestine gatherings, offering a bridge between the past and present in a single glass.
