Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Gin
- 1 oz Elderflower liqueur
- 0.75 oz Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 1 large Egg white (optional, for foam)
- 1 cup Ice
- 0.25 tsp Edible silver glitter or luster dust
- 1 piece Lime wedge or twist (for garnish)
Instructions
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using).
Dry shake the mixture (shake without ice) for about 15 seconds to emulsify and create foam from the egg white (if included).
Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into the glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove any ice shards.
Sprinkle the edible silver glitter or luster dust over the top of the drink to create a shimmering effect.
Garnish with a lime wedge or a twist of lime peel for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Silver Dragon cocktail!
