How to Make Galactic Moonbeam Elixir
Step 1: Chill Your Glass
Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill thoroughly.
Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail Base
In a cocktail shaker, add:
-
Gin
-
Blue curaçao
-
Elderflower liqueur
-
Fresh lemon juice
-
White grape or lychee juice
-
Simple syrup
-
A pinch of edible silver luster dust
Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Step 3: Strain and Pour
Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass, ensuring no ice cubes enter the glass.
Step 4: Add Fizz and Sparkle
Top off gently with sparkling water or club soda.
Give a very gentle stir to incorporate the bubbles and shimmer without disturbing the luster dust too much.
Step 5: Garnish
Add a lemon twist on the rim of the glass.
Sprinkle a few edible silver stars or scatter more luster dust on top for an extra moonbeam glow.
Optionally, float an edible flower for an elegant floral touch.
