Instructions

Description: Inspired by the celestial dance of the moon and earth, the Lunar Eclipse Elixir features a symphony of flavors and textures that create a visual and sensory spectacle. Utilizing the advanced mixology technique of spherification, this cocktail introduces an experience where the core ingredients burst in your mouth like a transient eclipse. Ingredients: - 1 oz elderflower liqueur - 1 oz gin, infused with butterfly pea flower (for color change effect) - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 0.5 oz simple syrup - 2 oz tonic water - Black currant spherified pearls (for the eclipse effect) Spherification Ingredients: - 2 oz black currant juice - 1 g sodium alginate - 200 ml water - 5 g calcium lactate Garnish: - Edible silver glitter dust - Lemon twist Glassware: - Stemless wine glass Instructions: 1. Create the black currant spherified pearls by blending black currant juice with sodium alginate until smooth. Let it rest for a few minutes to eliminate air bubbles. 2. Prepare a calcium lactate bath by dissolving calcium lactate in water. 3. Using a pipette, drop small amounts of the black currant mixture into the calcium bath to form pearls. Rinse the pearls in plain water after they form, and set aside. 4. In a shaker, combine elderflower liqueur, the infused gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake well. 5. Strain into a stemless wine glass and top with tonic water. 6. Carefully add the black currant pearls into the glass. 7. Lightly dust with edible silver glitter and garnish with a lemon twist. 8. Serve immediately and watch as the drink transforms, mimicking the enchanting phases of an eclipse. This cocktail offers a unique tasting journey, starting with the floral and citrus notes of elderflower and gin, punctuated by the burst of black currant, enhancing both visual and gustatory senses.
