It is at night when my most random thoughts come to the front line. Every left field thought is picked up, examined and deemed worthy of Internet research. Just the other night I was seconds away from deep relaxation, when my eyes snapped open at a thought. “Would it be possible to be a mermaid AND bartend?” The thought was too ludicrous to research; so back into deep relaxation I went.

Left field thoughts hold inspiration.

❖  2 oz. Hendricks Gin

❖  1 oz. Pina Colada Mix

❖  2 Dashes of Lavender Bitters

❖  Champagne of choice

❖  Lime Zest

❖  1 Egg White

❖  Martini Glass

❖  Garnishes – I used edible kosher flowers –

–  Ready.  Set.  Drink.  –

I.  Feel fancy, because you’re about to do fancy things.

II.  In a shaker with ice, combine 2 parts Hendricks, to 1 part Pina Colada Mix.

III.  Bless with drink with 2 dashes of lavender bitters.

IV.  Cover the Shaker and shake!

V.  Strain into a martini glass.

VI.  Zest a quarter of a lime over the martini.

VII.  Notice how refreshing it looks!

VIII.  Use the white of a egg and put in a clean shaker. Cover the shaker and shake rapidly for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds immediately uncover shaker and pour egg white foam over cocktail. Garnish with garnishes of choice.

IX.   Go get the camera, so you can show off!

X.  Drink!

Notes:

❖ It is imperative that when making this cocktail, you use cucumber infused gin, for delicious tasting purposes.

❖ I used cold pina colada mix to ensure a better-textured drink.

❖ If you cannot find lavender bitters, no problem! Regular bitters do the trick as well.

❖ To express chill a class…soda water and ice does wonders!

❖ I’ve never used carton egg whites to do a egg white foam, so I am not sure if it would make a difference at all, but if you have an actual egg…use it!
