The Naboo Sky

April 19, 2018 By No Comments

Today we bring you the Naboo Sky. It appears in episode 6 during a meeting with Falx. This cocktail is a beautiful shade of blue and packs quite a punch. Based on the classic Water Lily cocktail, the Naboo Sky is a combination of triple sec, lemon juice, gin, and violet liqueur. The brand of violet liqueur used gives it the wonderful blue color, as well as a delightful floral note.

We used a locally distilled gin with heavy citrus and fruity notes that we felt paired well with the violet liqueur. You can use whatever gin you’d like. If you aren’t sure where to start, we recommend a London dry gin.

The Naboo Sky

 

Naboo Sky [serves 6]

5 ounces triple sec
5 ounces fresh lemon juice
5 ounces gin 
5 ounces The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur, or any other blue violet liqueur 

For best results: Combine and pour in a decanter. Chill for at least one hour. Serve in martini or coupe glasses.

For authenticity: Combine and pour into a decanter. Keep the decanter on your desk for some amount of time. Serve in whatever glasses are available.

The Sparkling Star

March 1, 2018 By No Comments

The Sparkling Star first appears in Prologue 1 when Karma orders it. The drink was described as complicated and using a number of shakers, and we accepted that challenge. After some searching we stumbled upon the magical butterfly pea flower. When brewed in water like a tea it is a rich blue color, but when it becomes exposed to acidic liquid it turns a brilliant magenta. We decided on a lemon based drink to get the acidity and even threw edible glitter in there for some extra “oomph”.

This drink is tart, refreshing, and guaranteed to impress your friends. 

 

The Sparkling Star is served out of two containers. One container will have the pale yellow lemon mix.  The second container will have the butterfly pea flower mixture. This container should be clear to show off the beautiful blue color of the butterfly pea flower liquid.

We found this neat “vinegar and oil” container to use for serving. It definitely isn’t necessary, but it does look cool.

 

 

Sparkling Star [serves 1]  

1/4 ounce butterfly pea flower concentrate (recipe below)
1-1/2 ounces vodka
1/2 teaspoon blue luster powder or other edible glitter
1/2 ounce St. Germain
3/4 ounce simple syrup
2 ounces fresh lemon juice

In a clear shaker or shot glass combine the butterfly pea flower concentrate, vodka, and the luster powder. Stir well and set aside. In another shaker add the St. Germaine, simple syrup, lemon juice, and ice and shake well. Pour the vodka lemon drink into a martini glass. Carefully pour in the butterfly pea mix.

 

Butterfly Pea Flower Concentrate

2 cups water
1/2 cup dried butterfly pea flowers (about 1/4 ounce)

Boil water. Combine the water and flowers in a heat-proof container and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids.

 

Mocktail Version

This cocktail is easily converted into a non-alcoholic drink. Replace the vodka with water, and the St. Germain with lime juice. We used the mocktail version in the cool, bubble-container pour video.
