Instructions

The Verde Velours is an avant-garde cocktail that showcases the creamy texture of avocado in a sophisticated, flavor-layered libation. This cocktail employs an advanced technique known as fat-washing to infuse the spirit with the rich, buttery notes of avocado, creating a truly unique sipping experience. Served in a chilled coupe glass, its velvety mouthfeel and vibrant hue are as enticing as its taste. Ingredients: - 2 oz Avocado-fat-washed Gin (see instructions below) - 1/2 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 1/2 oz Simple Syrup - 1 Egg White - Fresh Thyme for garnish - Edible Flower for garnish (optional) Avocado-Fat-Washed Gin Instructions: - Take one ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash the flesh. - Combine the mashed avocado with 500ml of a quality gin in a mixing bowl. - Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 12 hours, stirring occasionally. - After infusion, freeze the mixture for a few hours until the avocado fat solidifies. - Strain through a cheesecloth and then a fine-mesh sieve to clarify the gin. Cocktail Preparation: 1. Chill a coupe glass in the freezer while preparing the cocktail. 2. In a shaker, combine the avocado-fat-washed Gin, St-Germain, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white. 3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 4. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 5. Double strain into the chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture. 6. Gently slap a sprig of fresh thyme between your hands to release the oils and aromas and place as garnish. 7. For an extra touch of elegance, float an edible flower on top of the frothy egg white. The Verde Velours is a testament to creativity and technique, blending the unctuous quality of avocado with the floral notes of elderflower and the sharpness of lime, culminating in a cocktail that is as luxurious in flavor as it is in presentation.
