Method
Syrup Preparation
Make Elderberry Green Tea Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of elderberries and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Tea Bags
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the 2 green tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the elderberries.
Cool the Syrup
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before using. You can store any leftover syrup in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Cocktail Preparation
Prepare Cocktail Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add the 2 oz of Snowcrest Vodka, 1 oz of the prepared elderberry green tea simple syrup, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 1 large egg white.
Dry Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white for a frothy texture.
Shake with Ice
Add ice to the shaker, secure the lid again, and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Optionally, you can fine strain to achieve a smoother texture.
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with fresh sage leaves placed on top or floating in the drink.
