Instructions

*Illuminated Orchard* is a refreshing and visually striking cocktail that highlights the purity and beauty of clear ice, paired with the delicate flavors of fruit and botanicals. It's served in a highball glass to showcase the ethereal clarity of the ice. *Glass:* Highball *Ingredients:* - 2 oz Clear Apple Brandy - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1 oz White Cranberry Juice - 0.25 oz Simple Syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters - 4 oz Tonic Water - Clear Ice Cubes (as clear as possible) *Garnish:* - Apple Fan (thin slices of apple arranged in a fan) - Lemon Twist - Sprig of Fresh Thyme *Instructions:* 1. Start by chilling a highball glass and ensure your clear ice cubes are ready to use. 2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the clear apple brandy, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, white cranberry juice, simple syrup (if using), and orange bitters. 3. Shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into the chilled highball glass filled with clear ice cubes. 5. Gently top with tonic water, pouring it over the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers if desired. 6. Garnish with the apple fan, lemon twist, and a sprig of fresh thyme. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, botanical flavors against the backdrop of stunningly clear ice. Note: To achieve very clear ice, use filtered water and employ a method like directional freezing (freezing from top to bottom) to push impurities to the bottom, leaving the top part of the ice block clear. Cut this clear section into cubes for use in your cocktails.
