Instructions

The Velvet Dusk is a cocktail that embodies the transition from day to night, offering a silky texture and a depth of flavors that intrigue the palate. It marries the warmth of brandy with the vibrancy of gin, creating a foundation that is both comforting and stimulating. The addition of egg white adds a luxurious frothiness, making each sip akin to savoring a cloud at sunset. This cocktail is perfect for those who appreciate the artistry in mixology and the joy in discovering complex flavor profiles. Ingredients: - 1 oz Brandy - 1 oz Gin (a botanical variety works best) - 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz simple syrup - 1 fresh egg white - A dash of orange bitters - Ice cubes - Orange zest, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the brandy, gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. 2. Before adding ice, perform a dry shake. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This process helps to emulsify the egg white, creating a smooth texture. 3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Seal again and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to chill the mixture properly. 4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass. The egg white should create a frothy top layer. 5. Add a dash of orange bitters directly on the foam for an aromatic touch. 6. Garnish with a twist of orange zest, releasing its oils over the drink and placing it delicately on the foam. Glass: - Serve in a chilled coupe glass to complement the elegance and smoothness of the Velvet Dusk. The Velvet Dusk is a testament to the beauty of blending traditions, taking the classic sophistication of brandy and the contemporary allure of gin to create a time-transcending cocktail experience.
