Instructions

**Description:** The Solstice Sparkle is an elegant, visually stunning cocktail that encapsulates the vibrant energy of the summer solstice. It combines a delightful mix of floral, citrus, and sweet notes, featuring an advanced mixology technique known as fat-washing to infuse the gin with a rich, velvety texture and subtle savory undertones. This drink is topped with a homemade lavender syrup and a splash of champagne, creating a beautiful layered effect that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. The drink is garnished with a twist of lemon and a few lavender buds, making it a perfect choice for a sophisticated evening soiree. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Lavender-infused gin (fat-washed with coconut oil) - 0.5 oz Lemon juice, freshly squeezed - 0.5 oz Homemade lavender syrup - 2 oz Champagne or sparkling wine - Ice cubes - Garnish: Lemon twist and lavender buds **Fat-Washing Technique for Lavender-infused Gin:** 1. Infuse 1 cup of gin with 2 tablespoons of dried lavender buds for 48 hours. Strain the lavender buds out. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and mix it into the lavender-infused gin. 3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for a couple of hours, then freeze it until the coconut oil solidifies on top. 4. Remove the solidified coconut oil, and strain the gin through a cheesecloth to ensure it's perfectly clear. The gin now has a silky, rich texture with a unique flavor profile. **Homemade Lavender Syrup:** 1. Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan, bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. 2. Add 3 tablespoons of dried lavender buds, remove from heat, and let it steep for 1 hour. 3. Strain the syrup to remove the buds, and let it cool. **Preparation:** 1. In a shaker, combine the lavender-infused, fat-washed gin, lemon juice, and lavender syrup with ice. Shake vigorously. 2. Strain into a flute glass. 3. Gently pour the champagne over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect. 4. Garnish with a lemon twist and a few lavender buds on top. **Glass:** Flute glass The Solstice Sparkle cocktail is a testament to the art of mixology, integrating complex techniques and flavors to create an unforgettable drinking experience.
