**Glass:** Highball **Description:** Twilight Mirage is an enchanting, vibrant layered cocktail that captures the essence of sunset in a glass. It masterfully balances the bittersweet charm of Aperol with the refreshing zest of Midori, underlined by a mesmerizing whiff of liquid smoke. This drink is a symphony of flavors, each layer unfolding its own story, promising an unforgettable sensory journey from the first glance to the last sip. **Ingredients:** - 30 ml Aperol - 30 ml Midori - 15 ml lime juice - 90 ml pineapple juice - A dash of liquid smoke - 10 ml lemongrass syrup - Soda water to top up - Ice cubes **Garnish:** - Lime wheel - Mint leaves **Method:** 1. In a shaker, combine lime juice, lemongrass syrup, and a dash of liquid smoke. Add ice and shake well. 2. Carefully strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, making this the first layer. 3. Slowly pour the Midori over the back of a spoon to create the second layer. 4. In a separate mixing glass, gently combine the Aperol and pineapple juice. Carefully layer this mixture over the Midori to create a beautiful gradient effect. 5. Top the drink with a splash of soda water to add fizz and integrate the layers slightly. 6. Garnish with a lime wheel and mint leaves. **Serving Suggestion:** Serve immediately with a straw, encouraging guests to stir their drink gently before tasting, to mix the layers of flavors while still enjoying the visual gradient effect of the cocktail. Twilight Mirage is a cocktail that not only pleases the palate but also the eyes, making it perfect for special occasions or as a signature drink when entertaining guests who appreciate the art of mixology.
