Description: The Smoke & Mirrors cocktail is an illusionary delight that combines the depth of smoky flavors with the richness of berries and herbs. Using a molecular mixology technique, this drink features a visually captivating smoke bubble, which releases aromatic thyme essence when popped. It’s a sensory experience that teases the eyes and tantalizes the palate, leaving a lasting impression. Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon - 1 oz black currant syrup - 0.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice - 2 dashes of orange bitters - 2 fresh blackberries - 1 sprig of fresh thyme - 1 oz smoked thyme infusion (created using a smoking gun) - 1 smoke bubble (created using a cocktail smoking gun with a bubble attachment) Type of Glass: Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. Prepare the Smoked Thyme Infusion: Using a smoking gun, infuse a small amount of fresh thyme with smoke. Capture the smoke in a container and quickly seal it with a plastic wrap to let the flavors infuse for about 10 minutes. Then, measure out 1 oz for the cocktail. 2. Muddle the fresh blackberries in the bottom of an Old Fashioned glass to release their juices. 3. In a cocktail shaker, combine bourbon, black currant syrup, lemon juice, orange bitters, and the 1 oz of smoked thyme infusion. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture into the Old Fashioned glass over the muddled blackberries, ensuring a smooth pour. 5. Garnish with a fresh sprig of thyme on top of the drink. 6. Finally, using a cocktail smoking gun with a bubble attachment, create a smoke-filled bubble and place it gently on the surface of the drink. 7. Present the drink to your guest and instruct them to pop the smoke bubble to release the aromatic thyme essence just before enjoying the cocktail. This playful and sophisticated creation is perfect for those who appreciate both the spectacle and flavor of an expertly crafted cocktail.
