Instructions

This drink invites you on a refreshing and slightly mystical journey. The combination of herbaceous gin, bright citrus, and the unique addition of soapwort creates a cocktail that's both invigorating and smooth. The balance of basil and sage, paired with the complexity of lime, offers a delightful sensory experience. Soapwort, traditionally known for its gentle cleansing properties, is used here in a minimal amount to add a subtle, intriguing note that complements the botanicals in gin. This cocktail is an homage to the garden and the wild, captured in a glass. Ingredients: - 60ml gin - 15ml lime juice - 10ml soapwort infusion (prepare in advance by steeping soapwort leaves in hot water, then cool it down) - 1 teaspoon sugar - A pinch of citric acid - A pinch of ascorbic acid (to maintain the fresh color and add a slight tartness) - 2 basil leaves - 1 sage leaf - Thin strip of lime peel for garnish Instructions: 1. In a shaker, muddle the basil and sage leaf with the sugar, citric acid, and ascorbic acid to release the flavors. 2. Add the gin, lime juice, and soapwort infusion to the mix. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to remove the muddled herbs and ensure a smooth texture. 5. Garnish with a thin strip of lime peel, twisting it over the drink to release its oils before dropping it in. Glass: - Serve in a coupe glass, which offers a wide surface area to enjoy the aroma and allows the beautiful hue of the cocktail to shine. The Sage Enchantment is a testament to the creativity and harmonious blend of flavors that can be achieved with nature's bounty, offering a sip of something truly innovative and unique.
