Instructions

Experience a drink that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also pays homage to the rich agricultural heritage of ancient Aztec civilization. The Golden Aztec Sunset is a beautifully layered cocktail that combines the boldness of tequila with the earthy undertones of turmeric and the unique, umami flavor of huitlacoche, also known as Mexican truffle or corn smut. This drink is a celebration of the old and the new, blending traditional ingredients into a modern cocktail experience. Ingredients: - 2 oz Blanco tequila - 1/2 oz Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec) - 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice - 1/4 oz Turmeric syrup (homemade or store-bought) - 1/2 oz Huitlacoche puree (canned huitlacoche blended until smooth) - A pinch of smoked sea salt - Edible gold leaf for garnish (optional) Glass Type: Coupe glass Instructions: 1. Begin by chilling your coupe glass in the freezer. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Blanco tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, turmeric syrup, and huitlacoche puree. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure the mixture is well chilled and becomes slightly frothy. 4. Take the chilled coupe glass out of the freezer and rim half of the glass with the smoked sea salt for an added layer of flavor and texture. 5. Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared coupe glass, ensuring a smooth pour. 6. For an extra touch of elegance and to play on the name "Golden Aztec Sunset," delicately place a piece of edible gold leaf on the surface of the drink. Serve immediately and watch as your guests are mesmerized by the depth of flavors and the historical journey in each sip of the Golden Aztec Sunset.
