Directions
- 1
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, fresh lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, butterfly pea flower tea concentrate, egg white, simple syrup, and orange blossom water.
- 2
Perform a 'dry shake' without ice for 15 seconds, vigorously shaking the mixture to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
- 3
Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake again for another 30 seconds, until the shaker is thoroughly chilled and condensation forms on the outside.
- 4
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled highball glass, using both a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh sieve, to ensure a smooth, silky texture.
- 5
Carefully top the drink with 3 ounces of chilled club soda, pouring slowly to maintain the impressive layers and foam.
- 6
Garnish the drink with the elegant wide strip of lemon peel, curling it artfully along the rim of the glass.
- 7
Gently place the two edible flowers on the foam, adding a delicate touch of color and sophistication.
- 8
Finish with a delicate pinch of electric dust, sprinkling it over the surface to create that signature iridescent shimmer, and serve immediately.
