Mysterious and enchanting cocktail with a touch of drama

Instructions

Description: Nox's Draft is a mysterious and enchanting cocktail that captivates the senses with its deep, inky color and swirling smoke effect. It's inspired by the mystical allure of the night and is perfect for those who enjoy a touch of drama in their drinking experience. Activated charcoal gives the drink its signature dark hue, while a hint of lavender adds an unexpected floral note. The dry ice is optional but recommended for an otherworldly presentation that will leave your guests spellbound. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably an aromatic one like Hendrick's) - 1/2 oz Crème de Violette - 1/2 oz Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed - 1/4 oz Simple Syrup - 1/2 teaspoon Activated Charcoal Powder (food-grade) - 1 Egg White (for frothiness and texture; can be omitted for a vegan version, use aquafaba as a substitute) - Lavender Sprigs for garnish - Dry Ice (optional, for presentation and the smoky effect) - Edible Glitter (silver or purple, optional for added sparkle) Type of Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass Directions: 1. In a shaker, combine the gin, crème de violette, lemon juice, simple syrup, and activated charcoal powder. 2. Add the egg white to the mixture. If you're making a vegan version, you can use aquafaba in place of the egg white. 3. Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a silky texture. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 5. Carefully place a small piece of dry ice at the bottom of the coupe glass using tongs (make sure to handle dry ice with caution and advise your guests not to touch it as it can burn the skin). 6. Double-strain the cocktail mixture into the coupe glass over the dry ice to start the smoky effect. 7. Garnish with a lavender sprig and a sprinkle of edible glitter. 8. Allow the dry ice to dissipate before drinking, and ensure that all the dry ice has completely disappeared before consuming the drink. Nox's Draft is not just a cocktail; it's a showpiece that brings the mystique of the night into a glass. It's perfect for gatherings that aim for an extra touch of spectacle and surprise.
