Instructions

Description: Velvet Noir is an elevated take on the classic gin and tonic, introducing a luxurious blend of velvety blackberry notes and aromatic herbs. This cocktail combines the crispness of gin with the tartness of fresh blackberries, a hint of lavender for floral depth, and a splash of tonic for that quintessential effervescence. Finished with a touch of activated charcoal for a striking appearance and a lemon twist for brightness, it's a sophisticated, visually stunning drink that's perfect for evening soirées. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical gin) - 4 Blackberries (plus more for garnish) - 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/4 oz Lavender syrup - 1/4 teaspoon Activated charcoal powder (optional, for color) - 3 oz Premium tonic water - Ice cubes - Lemon twist, for garnish - Sprig of lavender, for garnish Serving Glass: Serve in a highball glass. Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blackberries with the lavender syrup until you've broken them down to release their juice. 2. Add the gin, lemon juice, and activated charcoal powder to the shaker. If you're using the charcoal, ensure it's food-grade and used sparingly for color. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, making sure to catch any blackberry seeds. 5. Top the drink with tonic water and gently stir to combine. 6. Garnish with a lemon twist and a fresh sprig of lavender. Optionally, add a couple of whole blackberries for a touch of elegance. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the complex, refreshing flavors of the Velvet Noir.
