Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
Hyssop Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp dried hyssop
The Potions Master Cocktail
- 1 tsp absinthe
- 1 ½ oz butterfly pea flower gin
- ½ oz B&B liqueur
- 1 oz Hyssop Simple Syrup
- ⅓ oz lemon juice
- fresh lemon for garnish
Instructions
Hyssop Simple Syrup
- In a small saucepan combine the water, sugar, and dried hyssop. Place over high heat and bring to a simmer – stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes then remove from the heat and cover. Let steep for 30 minutes.
- After steeping, strain the syrup. You may want to use a coffee filter if there are fine particles of the dried herb. Let the syrup cool completely before using. This syrup will keep for 2-3 weeks in the fridge.
The Potions Master Cocktail
- Prepare the coupe glass. Add the absinthe to the glass and swirl around. Pour out the remaining absinthe and set the glass aside. Make a lemon twist garnish if desired. Cut a round slice of lemon and using a sharp paring knife, remove the rind from around the slice. Remove as much of the pith as you can and then wrap the lemon rind strip into a tight coil. The warmth from your hand should set the curl.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the butterfly pea flower gin, B&B liqueur, and hyssop syrup over the ice. Stir the cocktail with the ice for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Strain the cocktail into the prepared coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist if desired. Just before serving, drizzle the lemon juice into the cocktail and watch it transform right before your eyes!
