Crimson Velvet

Liquid elegance that couldn't have been born by chance. An unforgettable contrast where the ruby red of our dehydrated cherries rises beneath a glass of silky foam, pure as the snow on the mountain peaks.

Glass: Coupe glass (or a Martini glass)

Ingredients

• Azar60 ml
• Fresh lemon juice30 ml
• Simple syrup (1:1)20 ml
• Egg white15 ml
• Dehydrated cherry and pink grapefruit peel1

Steps

1. 1. Fill the coupe glass with ice and water to chill it while you prepare the mix.
2. 2. Dry shake: in the shaker, without ice, add the Azar, lemon juice, syrup, and egg white. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
3. 3. Wet shake: open the shaker, fill it with plenty of solid ice, and shake hard for another 15 seconds, until it feels well chilled.
4. 4. Discard the ice and water from the coupe glass. Double-strain the contents of the shaker through a fine strainer for a smooth, even foam.
5. 5. Gently rest the dehydrated cherry on the foam and express a piece of pink grapefruit peel over it for the initial citrus aroma.
