Instructions

Inspired by the clandestine vibrance of Prohibition-era speakeasies, Velvet Jazz is a modern twist on classic cocktails of the time, designed to evoke the smoky, sultry ambiance of those illicit gatherings. This sophisticated drink combines the richness of bourbon with the freshness of artisanal ingredients, offering a complex flavor profile that transports you back in time with a contemporary flair. **Glass Type:** Coupe Glass **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Bourbon (preferably a high-rye content for a spicy kick) - 1/2 oz Velvet Falernum (for a touch of sweetness and spice) - 1/4 oz Absinthe (for a hint of intrigue and depth) - 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (to add brightness) - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (to balance the tartness) - A dash of Black Walnut Bitters (for a warm, nutty finish) - Egg White (optional, for a silky texture) - Garnish: A thin slice of lemon peel and a few drops of Peychaud's Bitters (for color and a hint of floral notes) **Instructions:** 1. If using, start by dry shaking the egg white in a cocktail shaker to emulsify it, creating a smooth, frothy texture. 2. Add the bourbon, Velvet Falernum, absinthe, lemon juice, simple syrup, and black walnut bitters into the shaker with ice. 3. Shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into the pre-chilled coupe glass. 5. Carefully float a few drops of Peychaud's Bitters on the foam (if you used egg white) and use a cocktail pick to swirl it into a decorative pattern. 6. Garnish with the lemon peel, expressing its oils over the drink and rimming the glass edge before placing it in the drink. Velvet Jazz is a cocktail that whispers tales of yesteryears with every sip, its complex layers of flavor dancing together in perfect harmony, much like the jazz music that defined the Prohibition era. Serve it at your next gathering to transport your guests to a time where spirits were savored in secret, and every drink was a toast to freedom and rebellion.
