Instructions

Experience the warmth and complexity of the Velvet Sunset, a bourbon-based cocktail that captures the essence of a perfect evening. This innovative drink combines the richness of bourbon with a symphony of flavors that promise a memorable taste journey. Perfect for savoring during golden hour, its layered complexity will appeal to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Bourbon (preferably a smoother, slightly sweet profile) - 1/2 oz Amaretto - 1/2 oz Aperol - 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey-ginger syrup (equal parts honey, water, and fresh ginger slices simmered and cooled) - 1 dash Angostura bitters - Egg white (optional, for frothiness) - Edible gold dust (for garnish) - Lemon twist (for garnish) **Instructions:** 1. In a shaker, combine the bourbon, Amaretto, Aperol, lemon juice, honey-ginger syrup, and Angostura bitters. Add the egg white if you're opting for a frothy top. 2. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture, leaving any ice shards behind. 5. Lightly sprinkle edible gold dust over the top for a visually stunning effect. 6. Garnish with a lemon twist, expressing the oils over the drink and rimming the glass before placing it. **Serving Glass:** Serve in a chilled coupe glass to enhance the elegance and concentrate the aromas, making each sip a sophisticated experience. The Velvet Sunset is a testament to the beauty of mixology, where every sip offers a new discovery, much like the changing colors of a sunset sky.
