Ingredients for 4 glasses

  • 230ml / 7.8 fl. Oz. (US) Vodka
  • 120ml / 4.1 fl. Oz. (US) Liqueur Parfait d'Amour
  • 30ml / 1 fl. Oz. (US) Blackberry liqueur
  • 60ml / 2 fl. Oz. (US) tarragon syrup ( details at preparations )
  • 30ml / 1 fl. Oz. (US) lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 4 lavender twigs
  • 8 blackberries
  • Purple sugar for the glass rim
  • Ice Cubes

Dry ice (optional) - do not touch with bare hands or swallow

Preparation

Tarragon syrup

Slowly bring 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a pot to boil over medium heat. Add 2 tarragon twigs and cook for 10 minutes at reduced heat. Then remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool down. 

Cocktail

Moisten the edges of the glass with a slice of lemon and place it upside down in a bowl with purple sugar, so that the edge of the glass is decorated with sugar.  

Then pour lemon juice, syrup, spirits and ice cubes into a shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds. 

Pour the cocktail into the glass and decorate it with 2 blackberries threaded on a lavender branch.

Little tip

Use a toothpick to pre-drill the holes. For a spooky smoking effect, put a small piece of dry ice in the glass. 

Please note that the dry ice must be completely dissolved before consumption.
