Instructions

The Velvet Dusk is a refreshing and visually striking cocktail that harmonizes the earthiness of beetroot with the vivacity of citrus and the sparkle of tonic water, creating a tantalizing beverage perfect for evenings when you crave something unique without the juniper profile of gin. It's a blend that offers depth, brightness, and a touch of sophistication. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Vodka - 0.5 oz Aperol - 1 oz Freshly squeezed blood orange juice - 0.5 oz Beetroot juice - 0.5 oz Simple syrup - 2 oz Tonic water - 0.25 oz Lemon juice - A pinch of salt Garnish: - 1 Blood orange wheel - Fresh thyme sprig Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, Aperol, blood orange juice, beetroot juice, simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. 2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, leaving enough room for the tonic water. 4. Top the drink with tonic water, gently stir to incorporate. 5. Garnish with a wheel of blood orange and a sprig of fresh thyme. The Velvet Dusk offers a balance between the sweetness of the beetroot and the citrus tang, with the Aperol providing a subtle bitter undertone. Tonic water adds the effervescence that makes this drink a refreshing, yet complex choice. Enjoy this cocktail during a relaxed sunset gathering or as a novel centerpiece for your next cocktail party.
