Instructions

Description: The Celestial Sphere is a whimsical yet sophisticated cocktail that employs the spherification technique, a molecular gastronomy method, to encapsulate vibrant flavors into delicate pearls. When you take a sip, these flavorful pearls burst on your palate, releasing a symphony of taste that mirrors the vastness of the cosmos. Ingredients: - 2 oz gin (preferably a floral gin) - 1 oz St. Germain elderflower liqueur - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 0.5 oz simple syrup - 4 oz tonic water - 1 drop blue curacao (for color; optional) - Spherification Ingredients: - 1 cup cranberry juice - 1 g sodium alginate - 5 g calcium lactate Advanced Mixology Technique: Spherification 1. Blend cranberry juice with sodium alginate until fully dissolved. Let it sit for 15 minutes to remove air bubbles. 2. In a separate container, dissolve calcium lactate in water. 3. Use a dropper or syringe to gently drip the cranberry-alginate mixture into the calcium bath. Allow spheres to form and set for about 1-2 minutes. 4. Remove spheres using a slotted spoon and rinse them in water to remove excess calcium. Instructions: 1. In a shaker, combine the gin, St. Germain, lime juice, and simple syrup. Add ice and shake well until chilled. 2. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 3. Top with tonic water and add a drop of blue curacao for a celestial touch. 4. Gently spoon the cranberry spheres on top for a visual and flavorful burst. Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Garnish: Add a small cluster of edible flowers or a lime twist for an ethereal garnish.
