Instructions

Dive into the night with the Velvet Eclipse, a cocktail that embodies the mysterious allure of the celestial. It features an enchanting blend of rich flavors and a visually stunning presentation using the spherification technique to create a "moon" that bursts in your mouth, releasing a delightful surprise within this sophisticated drink. **Glass:** Chilled coupe glass. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Gin (preferably a floral one) - 0.5 oz Crème de Violette - 0.5 oz Maraschino Liqueur - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.75 oz Simple Syrup - Edible Silver Dust (for garnish) - **For the Spherification "Moon":** - 0.5 oz Blue Curacao - 1.5 oz Water - 2 g Sodium Alginate - For the Bath: - 1000 ml Water - 5 g Calcium Lactate **Method:** 1. **Prepare the Spherification "Moon":** a. Mix Blue Curacao, water, and sodium alginate in a blender until fully integrated. Let it sit to remove the air bubbles. b. In a separate bowl, dissolve calcium lactate in 1000 ml of water. c. Using a round spoon or a small scoop, gently drop the Blue Curacao mixture into the calcium lactate bath, creating spheres. d. Let the spheres sit for about 3 minutes before carefully removing them with a slotted spoon and rinsing them in water. Store in water until ready to use. 2. **Mix the Drink:** a. In a shaker, combine gin, Crème de Violette, Maraschino Liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. b. Fill the shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. c. Strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass. 3. **Final Touches:** a. Carefully place a Blue Curacao sphere (the "moon") in the drink. b. Lightly sprinkle edible silver dust over the top for a stellar effect. The Velvet Eclipse offers a journey through taste with a gin-based foundation that's both floral and tangy, complemented by the sky-inspired aesthetics. The spherification "moon" delivers a burst of Blue Curacao, adding a layer of sweetness and complexity that elevates the cocktail, making it not just a drink, but a mesmerizing experience.
