Gaslight Glow

A deceptively smooth cocktail—pretty, floral, and just off enough to make you question what’s real.

Ingredients:

• 1½ oz bourbon

• ¾ oz lavender simple syrup

• ½ oz fresh lemon juice

• 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

• Egg white (optional, for froth)

• Garnish: dried rosebud or burnt sprig of rosemary

Instructions:

1. Dry shake (no ice) all ingredients if using egg white.

2. Add ice and shake again until chilled and frothy.

3. Strain into a coupe glass.

4. Garnish and watch it flicker.
