Table of Contents
Ingredients
- Sparkling Lemonade: You can use store-bought sparkling lemonade for convenience, or make your own for an extra special touch.
- Blue Curaçao: This tangy orange liqueur creates the beautiful blue layer in the drink. If you prefer a simpler drink, you can omit it.
- Empress 1908 Indigo Gin: This unique gin changes color when mixed with lemonade, going from deep purple to a bright lilac.
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.
- Add the Gin: Pour in the Empress 1908 Indigo Gin first, allowing it to settle at the bottom.
- Top with Lemonade: Slowly pour sparkling lemonade over the gin, filling the glass.
- Create the Blue Layer: Carefully pour Blue Curaçao down the inside of the glass, letting it flow gently to the bottom. This creates the layered effect.
- Garnish (Optional): For a festive touch, add a sprig of fresh rosemary to the drink. It not only looks great but also adds a refreshing herbal note.
Tips
- Pour the Blue Curaçao slowly to ensure it stays layered and doesn’t mix with the lemonade and gin.
- Adjust the quantities based on your glass size and taste preferences.
Enjoy this magical cocktail at your Halloween gathering, and watch as your guests marvel at its bewitching appearance!
