Instructions

Dive into the mystical allure of the underworld with the Styx Serenade, a tequila-based cocktail that embodies the enigmatic essence of the famed river from Greek mythology. This hauntingly dark and smoky concoction will transport you on a journey across the fabled waters, with flavors that intrigue and tempt the palate. Ingredients: - 2 oz Añejo Tequila: Aged for a warm, smooth finish reminiscent of the depth of the Styx. - 1/2 oz Crème de Violette: To add a floral and visually ethereal touch, symbolizing the delicate line between the mortal world and the afterlife. - 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice: To provide a zesty sharpness, cutting through the other flavors like a ferryman's oar through the waters. - 1/2 oz Charcoal-Activated Simple Syrup: Infusing the drink with a dusky hue and a hint of mystery. - 1/4 oz Absinthe: To give a subtle nod to the spirits and myths surrounding the dark river. - A pinch of Black Lava Salt: For a mineral complexity and an aesthetic that evokes the river's banks. - Activated Charcoal Powder (edible): For a deep, dark color that mimics the Styx's churning ripples. - Garnish: Blackberry skewer and a sprig of mint, representing life and death in eternal balance. Type of Glass: Serve in an Old Fashioned glass, which conveys a sense of timelessness and tradition. Instructions: 1. Chill the Old Fashioned glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water and setting it aside. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Añejo Tequila, Crème de Violette, fresh lime juice, charcoal-activated simple syrup, absinthe, and a tiny pinch of edible activated charcoal powder. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Discard the ice from the chilled glass and rub the rim with a lime wedge before dipping it in the black lava salt to coat. 5. Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over a large ice cube. 6. Garnish with a skewer of blackberries and a sprig of mint. 7. Serve immediately, inviting your guests to contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife with each sip of the Styx Serenade.
