Instructions

Inspired by the introspective and transformative energy of the Hanged Man tarot card, this cocktail, The Hanged Sage, offers a moment of peaceful contemplation and a fresh perspective. Its herbal and slightly sweet profile invites you to pause and reflect, embodying the spirit of sacrifice and enlightenment that the card suggests. Perfect for a quiet evening of meditation or meaningful conversations, this drink serves as a reminder to view the world from a different angle. **Glass:** Coupette Glass **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Gin (Preferably one with floral or herbal notes) - 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 3/4 oz Sage Simple Syrup (To make: boil 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and a handful of fresh sage leaves. Stir until sugar dissolves, let it cool, then strain.) - 1/2 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 1 Egg White (for a frothy top and silky texture) - Fresh Sage Leaf (for garnish) - A small pinch of Sea Salt **Preparation:** 1. In a shaker, combine gin, fresh lime juice, sage simple syrup, elderflower liqueur, and the egg white. Add the pinch of sea salt. This unexpected ingredient will intensify the flavors and add a unique depth to the cocktail. 2. Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds. This is to ensure the egg white is fully emulsified, creating a smooth and frothy texture. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 10-15 seconds. This will chill and dilute the cocktail to perfection. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupette glass to ensure a smooth texture, leaving behind any unwanted ice shards or egg residue. 5. Gently float a fresh sage leaf on top of the foam as a garnish. The sage leaf not only adds an aromatic touch but also reinforces the thematic connection to introspection and wisdom. **Serving Suggestion:** Before serving, take a moment to hold the coupette glass towards the light, contemplating the clarity and the subtle hues of the cocktail, much like the Hanged Man invites us to reflect upon our perspectives. Enjoy The Hanged Sage as a catalyst for change, insight, and a renewed sense of purpose.
