Instructions

This cocktail takes a modern, innovative twist on the classic sour cocktails popular during the Prohibition era, introducing bold flavors and a touch of elegance. The Midnight Speakeasy Sour combines the rich, deep flavors of bourbon with the contemporary zing of elderflower liqueur, balanced with fresh lemon juice and a touch of activated charcoal for a visually striking appearance. It's a nod to the past with a firmly modern stance, perfect for sophisticated evenings or to impress at any gathering. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Bourbon - 1/2 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup - 1/4 teaspoon Activated Charcoal (for color and a slight detoxifying effect) - 1 Egg White (for froth; optional for a vegan version, use aquafaba) - Ice - Edible Gold Dust (for garnish) - Lemon Twist (for garnish) **Method:** 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine bourbon, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and activated charcoal. If using, add the egg white or aquafaba. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white or aquafaba. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and ensure a smooth texture. 5. Garnish with a light sprinkle of edible gold dust over the froth and a twist of lemon on the rim. **To Serve:** Serve in a chilled coupe glass to enhance the sophisticated feel, and ensure each sip is as cool as the last. The Midnight Speakeasy Sour is not just a drink but an experience, combining the allure of the prohibition era with the elegance of modern mixology. Enjoy responsibly at your next gathering or a quiet evening where sophistication is key.
