Instructions

The Velvet Eclipse is a mesmerizing cocktail that showcases the elegance of molecular mixology. This drink features a whiskey and blackberry base, encapsulated into a delicate sphere that bursts in your mouth, releasing a cascade of flavors, followed by a serene lavender mist. It's a multi-sensory experience that combines taste, aroma, and visual appeal, perfect for impressing at any gathering. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Whiskey - 1 oz Blackberry Puree - 0.5 oz Simple Syrup - 0.25 oz Lemon Juice - 1 pinch of Edible Gold Dust - Lavender Aroma (for misting) - Sodium Alginate Bath (for spherification) - Calcium Lactate **Glass:** - Serve in a small, stemmed cocktail glass (similar to a Nick & Nora glass) **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the Sphere:** - In a small bowl, mix blackberry puree with simple syrup, lemon juice, and calcium lactate until fully integrated. - Fill a large bowl with cold water and slowly add sodium alginate, whisking continuously to avoid clumps until the solution is clear. - Using a teaspoon, scoop the blackberry mixture and gently drop it into the sodium alginate bath, forming small spheres. - Let the spheres sit for about 3 minutes, then carefully remove them with a slotted spoon and rinse them lightly in a bowl of clean water. 2. **Whiskey Preparation:** - Chill whiskey in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to serving. 3. **Serving:** - Gently place one blackberry sphere at the bottom of the Nick & Nora glass. - Slowly pour the chilled whiskey over the sphere to avoid breaking it. - Sprinkle a pinch of edible gold dust into the glass for a mesmerizing visual effect. 4. **Lavender Mist:** - Just before serving, use a culinary atomizer filled with lavender essence to spray a fine mist over the drink. This adds an aromatic dimension that complements the cocktail's flavors and enhances the overall experience. 5. **Enjoyment:** - To enjoy the Velvet Eclipse, sip the whiskey as usual. When you're ready for a burst of flavor, gently press your tongue against the sphere to release the blackberry mixture, blending beautifully with the whiskey. The Velvet Eclipse is a perfect example of how advanced mixology techniques can transform the drinking experience, making it not just about the taste, but about engaging all the senses.
