**Velvet Stardust**

Velvet Stardust is an original cocktail that offers a rich, celestial-inspired experience, combining the smoothness of vodka with the luxurious and complex flavors of blackberry, vanilla, and a hint of citrus, finished off with a sparkling touch. *Glass:* Coupé *Ingredients:* - 2 oz Premium Vodka - 1/2 oz Crème de Mure (blackberry liqueur) - 1/2 oz Vanilla syrup - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Egg white (optional, for frothiness) - Prosecco or any dry sparkling wine - Edible gold dust for garnish (optional) - Fresh blackberries for garnish *Instructions:* 1. In a shaker, combine the vodka, Crème de Mure, vanilla syrup, and fresh lemon juice. 2. If using, add the egg white to the shaker. This will create a frothy texture when shaken. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until well chilled and the egg white is frothy. 4. Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupé glass to remove any small ice chips and egg white strands. 5. Carefully top the drink with a splash of Prosecco, pouring slowly to prevent it from mixing in too much and to maintain the layered look. 6. For a final, starry touch, lightly sprinkle edible gold dust over the top of the cocktail. 7. Garnish with a skewer of fresh blackberries. The Velvet Stardust cocktail is a luxurious drink perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress with an elegant, refreshing, and visually stunning beverage.
