The Sunset Serenade is the epitome of summer in a glass. It's a harmonious blend of fresh, sunny flavors with a hint of sweetness, perfectly balanced by the crisp touch of alcohol. It's designed to refresh, invigorate, and bring a smile to your face with each sip. The drink's vibrant layers mimic the beautiful colors of a summer sunset, making it not just a cocktail, but a visual delight as well. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Gin (preferably a floral one) - 1 oz Fresh pink grapefruit juice - 0.5 oz Lavender syrup - Sparkling water to top off - 2-3 Fresh basil leaves - 1/2 tsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice - A pinch of sea salt - Ice cubes - Grapefruit slice and a sprig of lavender for garnish Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the basil leaves with the lavender syrup and lemon juice to release their flavors. 2. Add the gin and fresh pink grapefruit juice to the shaker, along with the pinch of sea salt and a handful of ice cubes. 3. Shake well until the mixture is well chilled. 4. Double strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, to catch the basil leaves and ensure a smooth drink. 5. Top off with sparkling water, gently stir to combine. 6. Garnish with a thin slice of grapefruit and a sprig of lavender. Glass Type: Highball Glass The Sunset Serenade's allure lies in its perfect balance between floral, citrusy, and herbal notes, supported by the sparkling kick that makes it irresistibly refreshing. It's sweet, but not too sweet, with the floral gin and lavender syrup providing depth without overwhelming the palate, making it the ideal cocktail for sipping as you watch the sun dip below the horizon.
