Description: The Solar Eclipse Elixir is a visually stunning cocktail that utilizes the advanced technique of spherification to create floating pearls of citrus within the drink. This cocktail delights both the eyes and the palate with contrasting flavors that are harmonious and refreshing. A perfect blend of tartness from the citrus and sweetness from the elderflower, the drink is served in a chilled coupe glass to enhance its elegance. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz gin - 0.75 oz elderflower liqueur - 0.5 oz fresh lime juice - 0.5 oz freshly squeezed orange juice - 2 oz tonic water - 1 dropper citrus spherification pearls* - Orange peel for garnish *For the citrus spherification pearls: - 1 cup fresh lemon juice - 1 cup water - 2 grams sodium alginate - 4 grams calcium lactate Instructions: 1. Begin by preparing the citrus pearls. Blend lemon juice, water, and sodium alginate in a blender until smooth. Let rest to remove air bubbles. 2. In a separate bowl, dissolve calcium lactate in water. 3. Using a dropper, add droplets of the alginate mixture into the calcium lactate solution, creating small pearls. Allow the pearls to form, then rinse them in fresh water and set aside. 4. In a shaker, combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, lime juice, and orange juice with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 6. Top with tonic water and gently add the citrus pearls into the glass. 7. Garnish with a twist of orange peel and serve immediately.
