Instructions

Description: The Purple Sun is a vibrant, visually stunning cocktail that captures the essence of a majestic sunset with its deep, ombre hues. This drink delivers a refreshing yet complex flavor profile, combining the sweetness of berry liqueur with the citrus zest of orange and lemon, topped off with a hint of herbal undertones from a gin base. The secret to its striking color is the delicate layering of ingredients, which creates a gradient effect reminiscent of the fading light of a sun dipping below the horizon. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Gin - 0.5 oz Crème de Violette - 0.5 oz Black Raspberry Liqueur (e.g., Chambord) - 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup - 1 oz Cranberry Juice - 1 oz Orange Juice - Lemon twist, for garnish - Edible violet petals, for garnish (optional) Instructions: 1. Fill a shaker with ice cubes and add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup. 2. Shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with crushed ice, creating the bottom layer. 4. Next, slowly pour the cranberry juice over the back of a spoon to form the next layer. 5. Repeat this technique with the orange juice, which should create a soft gradient from the cranberry layer. 6. Finally, combine the Crème de Violette and black raspberry liqueur in a separate container, then gently layer on top to achieve the "purple sun" effect. 7. Garnish with a lemon twist and optional edible violet petals. Glass: Serve in a tall highball glass to fully exhibit the dramatic color transition that gives the Purple Sun its name and appeal. The layering effect will be most pronounced in a clear glass, making it a delight for the eyes as well as the palate.
