Kosmic Karma Cocktail
Method
Kosmic Karma Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. If using dry ice for theatrical presentation, prepare a separate larger serving bowl—do not place dry ice directly in the drinking glass or allow guests to ingest dry ice.
- 2
Dry shake
In a cocktail shaker combine gin, blue curaçao, fresh lemon juice, elderflower liqueur, simple syrup, aquafaba (or egg white), and lavender bitters. Add the edible glitter or luster dust. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds. This aerates the aquafaba/egg white and helps incorporate the glitter for a pearlescent foam.
- 3
Wet shake
Open the shaker and add 1 cup of ice. Seal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold (this chills and dilutes the mix to proper balance).
- 4
Double strain and pour
Double strain the cocktail (through the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and any larger flecks, leaving a silky, pearlescent foam on top.

Garnish and finish
Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils and run the twist around the rim, then place it on the foam, or float an edible flower. If using dry ice for table presentation, place a small piece of dry ice into the separate larger serving bowl with warm water to create fog—do NOT place dry ice in or near the guest's drink.
