Instructions

Description: A modern homage to the secretive allure of Prohibition-era speakeasies, the Midnight Whisper cocktail is both enigmatic and refreshing. It combines the classic sophistication of gin with the contemporary vibrancy of elderflower liqueur and a homemade blueberry-thyme syrup, offering a complex yet harmonious blend of flavors. Topped with a splash of champagne, this drink not only whispers luxury and rebellion but also celebrates the past with a discernible nod to the future. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (Preferably a dry variety for a crisp taste) - 1 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 1 oz Homemade Blueberry-Thyme Syrup (see note below for preparation) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - Champagne or Sparkling Wine, to top - Fresh Thyme Sprig and Blueberries, for garnish Blueberry-Thyme Syrup Preparation: Simmer 1 cup of blueberries, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 3 fresh thyme sprigs on low heat for 15 minutes. Allow it to cool, then strain to remove solids. This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Glass Type: Serve in a chilled coupe glass to maintain the elegance of the era and enhance the aromatic experience. Preparation: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, blueberry-thyme syrup, and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice. 2. Vigorously shake until well-chilled, about 15-20 seconds. 3. Strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass. 4. Gently top with champagne or sparkling wine, allowing the bubbles to mix naturally without stirring. 5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and a skewer of blueberries. Enjoy the Midnight Whisper, a drink that transports you to a time of mystery and elegance, with each sip revealing a new layer of flavor and history.
