Nice idea I guess, but honestly I think there are better ways to approach that cocktail.
a cocktail inspired by the love of my life.
It's a little effervescent, a little sweet and surprisingly complex.
Ingredients
1 oz Empress 1908 Indigo Gin
1½ oz fresh lemon juice
1½ oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and water)
a small handful of frozen blueberries (about 10)
1 large ice cube
Splash (about ½ oz) sparkling water
Lemon wheel, for garnish
Method
in a chilled martini glass fill about 1/5 with the frozen blueberries.
Heat the honey syrup until it just begins to boil, then remove it from the heat.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and immediately pour the mixture over the frozen blueberries.
Add the large ice cube and pour in the Empress gin. Stir gently until chilled.
Top with a splash of sparkling water.
Garnish with a lemon wheel.
Savor the sweetness while it lasts.
