Instructions

Immerse yourself in the luxury and elegance of ancient royalty with the Queen of the Nile cocktail. This drink captures the essence of Cleopatra's sophistication and allure, featuring opulent flavors that transport you to the legendary banks of the river Nile. Serve in a tall, slender Highball glass to reflect the timeless grace and majesty of its namesake. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Fig-infused Vodka: To represent the fertility of the Nile's banks and the lushness of the Egyptian gardens. - 0.5 oz Pomegranate Liqueur: For a touch of royal decadence and the deep, rich colors associated with Cleopatra's regalia. - 0.75 oz Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice: Adding a hint of the Mediterranean, reflecting the diverse influences on Egyptian culture. - 0.5 oz Honey-Saffron Syrup: A nod to the luxury and wealth of ancient Egypt, with saffron symbolizing royalty and honey bringing sweetness to Cleopatra's reign. - 2 oz Chilled Hibiscus Tea: A tribute to the local flora and the vibrant colors of the Egyptian landscape. - A splash of Champagne: To introduce the celebratory and majestic aspect of Cleopatra's court. - Garnish: Edible gold flakes and a thin slice of fig. Instructions: 1. Start by infusing vodka with dried figs. This can be done by adding roughly chopped figs to the vodka and allowing it to steep for 3-4 days, then strain. 2. To make the honey-saffron syrup, combine equal parts water and honey in a saucepan. Add a pinch of saffron threads and gently heat until the honey dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool before using. 3. In a cocktail shaker, combine the fig-infused vodka, pomegranate liqueur, lemon juice, and honey-saffron syrup with ice. Shake vigorously. 4. Strain into a Highball glass filled with crushed ice. 5. Slowly pour the chilled hibiscus tea over the back of a spoon to create a layering effect. 6. Top with a splash of Champagne. 7. Garnish with a sprinkle of edible gold flakes and a thin slice of fig on the rim. Enjoy the Queen of the Nile, a cocktail that resonates with the opulence and magnificence of Cleopatra's reign, offering a taste of ancient royalty with every sip.
