A visually striking cocktail that embodies the ethereal beauty of the northern lights, using seasonal ingredients to create a drink that is both beautiful and emotionally evocative.
Ingredients:
2 oz vodka
1 oz elderflower liqueur
1/2 oz blue curaçao
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz butterfly pea flower tea
Edible glitter (optional)
Ice
Lemon twist for garnish
Instructions:
In a shaker, combine vodka, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until chilled.
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon to create a layer of blue at the bottom of the glass.
Gently pour the butterfly pea flower tea over the drink to create a gradient effect, mimicking the colors of the northern lights.
Add a pinch of edible glitter for a sparkling finish, if desired.
