Instructions

The Velvet Noir is a sophisticated and elegant cocktail that marries the robust flavors of red wine with the aromatic complexity of herbal and citrus notes, providing a unique experience that's distinctly different from the fruit-laden profiles of traditional sangria. The cocktail has a velvety texture and deep layers of flavor that evolve with each sip. Ingredients: - 2 oz full-bodied red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec) - 1 oz blackberry liqueur or crème de mûre - 0.5 oz Aperol - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) - 2 dashes of orange bitters - 1 egg white (for froth and texture; optional for a silkier mouthfeel) - Garnish: orange peel twist and a fresh blackberry Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the red wine, blackberry liqueur, Aperol, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup (if using), and orange bitters. 2. If using an egg white, add it to the shaker at this point. This will contribute to the smooth texture and frothy top of the cocktail. 3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a foam. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 10-15 seconds to chill and dilute the mixture. 5. Strain into a chilled coupe glass to enhance the aromatic experience. 6. Garnish with a twist of orange peel, expressing the oils over the drink, and add a fresh blackberry on the rim as the finishing touch. The Velvet Noir is a drink that delivers a rich and indulgent taste while being balanced and complex, making it a perfect choice for those looking to explore red wine cocktails beyond the classic sangria.
