Instructions

Inspired by the ancient Minoan civilization of Crete, the Minoan Sunset captures the essence of the Mediterranean's enchanting history and its breathtaking sunsets. This cocktail is a refreshing blend of flavors that reminisces the rich culture and the mythological spirit of Crete. Served in a traditional clay cup to pay homage to the Minoans' renowned pottery, this drink is not only a treat to the taste buds but also a journey to the past. Ingredients: - 2 oz Raki (to pay homage to Crete's traditional spirit) - 1 oz Freshly squeezed orange juice (representing the endless orange groves of Crete) - 0.5 oz Pomegranate syrup (symbolizing the myth of Persephone, tied to the island's lore) - 0.5 oz Lemon juice (for a touch of the Mediterranean zest) - A splash of sparkling water (to bring effervescence, reminiscent of the Aegean Sea) - A sprig of mint (reflecting Crete's lush landscapes) - Pomegranate seeds for garnish (echoing the richness of Minoan frescoes) Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine Raki, orange juice, pomegranate syrup, and lemon juice. Fill with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 2. Strain into a clay cup filled with crushed ice. 3. Top with a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing fizz. 4. Gently slap the mint sprig between your palms (to release its aroma) and garnish the drink, adding a few pomegranate seeds on top for a vibrant finish. The Minoan Sunset is a celebration of ancient Crete's luxurious past, blending the island's traditional flavors with the mythology and history that have shaped its identity. Cheers to a journey back in time with each sip!
