Instructions

Description: The Smoky Lavender Elixir is an enchanting cocktail that marries the soothing essence of lavender with the boldness of aged whiskey, enhanced by a dramatic smoke infusion technique. Perfect for an evening of sophistication, this drink will mesmerize both visually and with its complex flavors. Ingredients: - 2 oz aged whiskey (preferably bourbon or rye) - 1/2 oz lavender simple syrup (made with dried lavender flowers and sugar) - 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice - 2 dashes orange bitters - Sprig of fresh lavender for garnish - Ice cubes - Wood chips (oak or cherry recommended for smoking) Type of Glass: Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. Prepare the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of dried lavender flowers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool, then strain out the lavender flowers and store the syrup in a sealed container. 2. Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice cubes to chill it. Set it aside. 3. In a mixing glass, combine the aged whiskey, lavender simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and orange bitters. Add ice and stir well to mix and chill the ingredients. 4. Discard the ice from your chilled Old Fashioned glass and strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the Old Fashioned glass. 5. Using a smoking gun or an alternative method to create smoke, light a small amount of wood chips. Capture the smoke in the Old Fashioned glass by covering the top with a coaster or cocktail shaker tin, allowing the smoke to infuse into the drink for about 30 seconds to a minute. 6. Carefully release the smoke and garnish the cocktail with a sprig of fresh lavender. 7. Serve immediately, ensuring your guests enjoy the visual spectacle and aromatic experience of the smoky infusion. This cocktail not only offers a unique flavor but also an engaging sensory experience, making it an unforgettable addition to any gathering.
