Sophisticated night-themed cocktail with blackberry, fig, rum, and citrus

Instructions

Description: Nox's Draft is a sophisticated, night-themed cocktail that offers a dark, velvety appearance with a hint of galaxy dust swirling within. This mystical concoction blends the rich flavors of blackberry and fig with the deep notes of a fine aged rum and a touch of citrus zing, perfect for sipping under the stars. The activated charcoal gives it a jet-black hue that truly lives up to its nocturnal name, while the homemade fig syrup adds an original sweet twist. Served in a chilled coupe glass, its presentation is as enigmatic as the night itself, making it an ideal drink for evening soirees or a quiet nightcap. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Dark Rum - 1 oz Blackberry Liqueur - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.5 oz Homemade Fig Syrup (made by simmering figs with water and sugar) - 1/4 tsp Activated Charcoal Powder (safe for consumption, used for coloring) - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - Edible Silver Star Glitter (for garnish) - Fresh Blackberry and Fig Slice (for garnish) Glass: - Chilled Coupe Glass Instructions: 1. Begin by making the homemade fig syrup. Combine equal parts chopped figs, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and the figs are softened. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, pressing to extract the juices, and let it cool. 2. In a mixing glass, carefully add the activated charcoal powder. Note that a little goes a long way and ensure the powder is food-grade and safe for consumption. 3. Add the aged dark rum, blackberry liqueur, fresh lemon juice, homemade fig syrup, and orange bitters to the charcoal powder in the mixing glass. 4. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir vigorously until the cocktail is well-chilled and the charcoal is fully dispersed. 5. Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass, ensuring no charcoal residue is left in the drink. 6. For a touch of celestial wonder, sprinkle a pinch of edible silver star glitter over the surface of the drink to mimic a starry night sky. 7. Garnish with a skewered fresh blackberry and a thin slice of fig resting elegantly on the rim of the glass. 8. Serve immediately and watch as your guests marvel at the mysterious beauty of Nox's Draft.
