Instructions

Description: This gin-based cocktail is a homage to Alexander von Humboldt’s historic South American explorations. It captures the rich, diverse flavors of the continent, blending fresh tropical fruits and local botanicals to create a complex and refreshing drink that ignites the spirit of adventure. Ingredients: - 2 oz premium gin - 1 oz passion fruit juice - 1/2 oz lime juice - 1/2 oz simple syrup (infused with pink peppercorns) - 1/4 oz mezcal (to add a smoky dimension) - 2 dashes of Angostura bitters - Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish - Edible orchid for garnish Method: 1. Start by preparing the pink peppercorn simple syrup. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, add a teaspoon of pink peppercorns, and bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool, then strain the syrup to remove the peppercorns. 2. In a shaker, combine the gin, passion fruit juice, lime juice, pink peppercorn simple syrup, mezcal, and Angostura bitters. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 5. Garnish with a few fresh cilantro leaves and an edible orchid to evoke the lush, tropical landscapes Humboldt explored. Glass: Coupe Glass This drink promises an intricate flavor profile that pays tribute to both the botanist’s legacy and the vibrant cultures he encountered during his travels. Enjoy every sip as a journey through the rich tapestry of South America’s natural beauty.
