Sparkling Blue Cocktail Base

Method

Sparkling Blue Cocktail Base

1

Prepare the cocktail base

Add gin (or vodka), blue curaçao, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker.

2

Dry shake

If using egg white, close the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

3

Wet shake

Add ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker, close and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Sparkling & Finish

4

Strain and top with bubbles

Double-strain the shaken mixture into a chilled coupe or flute. Immediately top with 2 oz chilled sparkling wine or champagne.

5

Add the stars

Carefully sprinkle 1 tsp edible silver star sprinkles (or a pinch of edible glitter) onto the surface — they will float and catch the light like stars.

6

Garnish

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, wipe the rim with the peel, and drop the twist into the glass.

7

Serve

Serve immediately while the foam (if using egg white) and sparkle are fresh. Advise guests to sip gently to appreciate the visual shimmer.
