Instructions

Embrace the essence of the season with the Winter Solstice Sparkle, a cocktail that captures the heart of local ingredients while presenting itself with an alluring, eye-catching appeal. This delightful concoction is not only a feast for the eyes but also a tribute to the flavors of winter, using fresh, local produce and spirits. Served in a highball glass, its layers mimic the hues of a winter sunset, offering a visual and sensory delight. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz local craft gin, infused with winter spices (cinnamon, clove, and orange zest) - 0.5 oz local honey syrup (equal parts local honey and water, warmed to combine) - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, strained - 2 oz cranberry juice, preferably fresh and locally sourced - A splash of local sparkling wine or cider, to top - Garnish: A sprig of fresh rosemary and a few fresh cranberries Instructions: 1. Begin by infusing your local craft gin. Combine the gin with a stick of cinnamon, a few cloves, and some fresh orange zest. Let this infusion sit for at least 48 hours in a cool, dark place. 2. In a highball glass, fill it with ice to chill. 3. In a cocktail shaker, combine the infused gin, honey syrup, fresh lemon juice, and cranberry juice with ice. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 4. Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass filled with fresh ice. 5. Gently pour the sparkling wine or cider over the back of a spoon to create a beautiful layer on top of the drink, adding a sparkle reminiscent of a crisp winter morning. 6. For the garnish, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and a few fresh cranberries to the drink. The rosemary adds a fragrant, earthy aroma, while the cranberries offer a pop of color and a nod to the seasonal ingredients. The Winter Solstice Sparkle is not only a celebration of local and seasonal ingredients but also an artistic creation that is bound to impress at any winter gathering. Its layered appearance, combined with the depth of flavor from the spice-infused gin and the brightness of the fresh citrus, makes this cocktail a memorable experience.
