Elysian Nebula

Transport yourself to a realm of fantasy with the Elysian Nebula, a cocktail that captures the essence of mythical forests, butterfly-winged horses, and vivid blooms through its mesmerizing layers and colors. The sharpness of gin, tartness of citrus, and sweetness of berry liqueur create a harmonious blend, while the effervescence and a mystical cloud of smoke invite you to a magical land. Served in a highball glass, this drink not only tantalizes the taste buds but also enchants the eyes with its ethereal beauty. Glass: Highball Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin - 1/2 oz Butterfly Pea Flower Tea (as Blue sea horse tears) - 1/2 oz Agave syrup with seaweed extract (as Sea Kelp froth) - 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1/2 oz Simple syrup - 1 Egg white (optional for a frothier texture) - Tonic water to top up - Dry ice for the fog effect (optional, and handle with care!) - Edible silver star sprinkles for garnish (optional) Instructions: 1. Begin by steeping the butterfly pea flower tea, then cool it to create the "Blue sea horse tears." Mix the agave syrup with a bit of seaweed extract to get the "Sea Kelp froth." Set aside. 2. In a shaker, combine the gin, butterfly pea flower tea, seaweed-infused agave syrup, lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white (if using). Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and incorporate air for frothiness. 3. Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled. 4. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice, leaving some space at the top. 5. Gently top up with tonic water to create a layered effect. 6. Carefully add a small piece of dry ice directly into the drink or place it beneath the highball glass in a secure containment for the fog effect (ensure safety protocols are followed). 7. Garnish with edible silver star sprinkles. Enjoy the Elysian Nebula, your gateway to an enchanting world where every sip is a journey through a mythical landscape.
