Instructions

A harmonious blend of gin's botanical crispness with the warm, woody notes of whiskey, Velvet Dusk is an elegant cocktail that offers a sophisticated balance between the two spirits. This drink pays homage to classic cocktail culture while bringing a modern twist, making it perfect for the connoisseur looking to experience the best of both worlds. Ingredients: - 1 oz Gin - 1 oz Whiskey (preferably a smoother, less peaty variety) - 1/2 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1/4 oz Simple Syrup - 2 Dashes of Orange Bitters - 1 Egg White (optional for froth and texture) - Ice - Lemon Twist for Garnish - Thyme Sprig for Garnish Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the gin, whiskey, St-Germain, lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters. If you’re using the egg white, add it now. This will give the cocktail a silky mouthfeel and a lovely froth on top. 2. Dry-shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to help emulsify the egg white (if used). 3. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled, about 30 seconds. 4. Double-strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth, froth-topped drink and to remove any ice shards. 5. Express a lemon twist over the drink by squeezing it to release the oils, and then rub it around the rim of the glass before placing it as a garnish. 6. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for an aromatic accent. Glass: - Coupe glass Velvet Dusk offers a timeless elegance with an enigmatic twist, where the juniper notes of gin dance with the oaky strength of whiskey, creating a cocktail experience that's both innovative and deeply rooted in cocktail tradition.
