Instructions

Dive into the warmth of the setting sun with the Golden Hour Sour, an exquisite cocktail that captures the essence of summer evenings. This tantalizing drink combines the brightness of citrus with the subtle herbal notes of thyme, all underlined by the smooth hint of honey, ensuring each sip is as refreshing as it is sophisticated. Perfect for those balmy nights or whenever you need a dose of sunshine. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably one with floral notes) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey syrup (mix equal parts honey and warm water to create this) - 1/4 oz Elderflower liqueur - A small pinch of turmeric (for color, use sparingly to maintain flavor balance) - Fresh thyme (one sprig for garnish, a few leaves for shaking) - Ice - 1 egg white (optional, for those who enjoy a frothier texture) Glass: - Coupe glass Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle a few thyme leaves gently to release their oils. 2. Add the gin, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, elderflower liqueur, and the pinch of turmeric to the shaker. (If using, add the egg white at this stage.) 3. First, perform a dry shake (without ice) for about 15 seconds if including egg white, to help emulsify the egg and incorporate air for frothiness. If not using egg white, you can skip this step. 4. Add a good amount of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 20-25 seconds. The turmeric will provide the drink with its vibrant, sunny yellow color, and the shaking will ensure the mixture is well chilled and combined. 5. Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and thyme residue. 6. Garnish with a fresh sprig of thyme. Optionally, a thin slice of lemon or a twist can be added for an extra touch of citrus. The Golden Hour Sour is more than just a drink; it's an experience, encapsulating the fleeting beauty of golden sunsets in a glass. The natural yellow hue from the turmeric gives it an eye-catching presentation, while the balance of flavors makes it a memorable sipper for any occasion.
