Translated to “Lady of the Evening,” but the reference is to a Philippine tropical tree whose blooms emit an intoxicating fragrance only at nightfall, so breathtakingly beautiful it almost puts you in a trance. It is often called a perfume drink due to its pure aromatic smell. Don't be confused when you tasted the strong and biting sour to bitter taste though. Just bite your richberry before consuming this cocktail, and you're good to riding your sweet dreams right after the drink.
Ingredients:
Dash of orange flower water
Sugar, for rimming
1½ oz (44 ml) cognac
½ oz (15 ml) curaçao
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
1 oz (30 ml) fresh pineapple juice
½ oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
Orange peel, for orange floret (optional)
Cocktail pick, for orange floret (optional)
Method:
Rim your coupe glass with sugar by dipping the edge of the glass in the orange flower water and then dipping it into the sugar. In a cocktail shaker, combine the cognac, curaçao, bitters, pineapple juice and lime juice. Fill with ice and shake. Strain into your sugar-rimmed glass. To make an orange floret garnish, make a very long orange peel and then roll it up so it resembles a rose and secure it with the cocktail pick. Garnish with the orange blossom, if desired.
Mocktail (non-alcoholic): If you wish to have a delicious non-alcoholic version, please feel free to take the alcohol out and follow the same procedure.
Consume Miracle Berry: Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact: The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
