Instructions

Dive into an ethereal mixology experience with Twilight Shimmer, a cocktail that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also enchants the eyes. This drink uses a magical combination of ingredients and advanced mixology techniques, including a shimmering effect and a pH color change, to create a visually stunning and delicious cocktail. Perfect for evenings that call for a touch of wonder. **Glass**: Coupe glass **Ingredients**: - 2 oz Gin (Preferably one with a floral note) - 0.75 oz Lemon juice, freshly squeezed - 0.75 oz Butterfly pea flower syrup - 0.5 oz Elderflower liqueur - Champagne or dry sparkling wine, to top - Edible pearl powder (for the shimmer effect) - Ice cubes **Garnish**: A twist of lemon peel and an edible flower (optional) **Instructions**: 1. **Prepare the Butterfly Pea Flower Syrup**: In advance, steep dried butterfly pea flowers in boiling water for 5 minutes. Strain and mix the infused water with an equal amount of sugar until dissolved. Allow it to cool. This will create a beautiful, natural blue syrup. 2. **Chill the Coupe Glass**: Place the coupe glass in the freezer to chill as you prepare the cocktail. 3. **Combine the Ingredients**: In a shaker, combine the gin, lemon juice, butterfly pea flower syrup, elderflower liqueur, and a pinch of edible pearl powder. The pearl powder will give your cocktail a mesmerizing shimmer. Fill the shaker with ice. 4. **Shake Well**: Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or until the outside of the shaker feels cold. This not only chills the drink but also ensures the pearl powder is fully incorporated, creating a shimmering effect. 5. **Strain and Serve**: Strain the cocktail into your chilled coupe glass. The acidity of the lemon juice will react with the butterfly pea flower syrup, causing a beautiful color change from blue to a pinkish-purple, creating a twilight sky effect. 6. **Top with Champagne**: Gently top the cocktail with a splash of champagne or dry sparkling wine, adding another layer of complexity and effervescence. 7. **Garnish and Serve**: Garnish with a twist of lemon peel and an optional edible flower for an added touch of elegance. Serve immediately and watch as your guests are mesmerized by the shifting colors and shimmering effect of the Twilight Shimmer. This cocktail perfectly blends the art and science of mixology, offering not just a drink, but an experience to remember. Cheers to an evening filled with magic!
