1 1⁄2 oz Gin (Four Pillars Olive Leaf Gin)
1 oz Elderflower liqueur
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Lavender syrup
2 oz Fruit (dragonfruit)
Instructions
1. Muddle the dragonfruit to get it very mooshy.
2. Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake very vigorously.
3. Semi-strain into a frozen coupe glass ....... you want some of the dragonfruit seeds in the glass.
Notes
1. I wanted liquid during the muddle, but it doesn't happen. Therefore get it very muddled so that flavor & color are extracted during shaking.
2. A very "soft" flavor. The dragonfruit seeds make for a nice "textural garnish" of sorts.
3. A beautiful red color.
History
My first experiment with dragonfruit.
