THE BIG BANG
Ingredients:
- 250 mL Bangarang Blue Raspberry
- 1.5 oz Gin
- 2 oz Butterfly Pea Flower Syrup*
- 3 Dash Angustura Bitters
- Blueberries or orange peel for garnish
Combine the gin, syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass with ice, and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass (best served in a highball or wine glass).
Into the glass, carefully pour the Bangarang Blue Raspberry over the back of a bar spoon. Maintain a slow stream to avoid agitating the gin/syrup solution.
Garnish with 3 blueberries on a toothpick, or an orange twist.
Serve.
As the patron mixes the cocktail, the citric acid in the Bangarang infuses with Butterfly Pea Flower. This lowers the cocktail's pH level, transforming it from blue to a beautiful purple, mimicking the colors of the galaxy - hence the name, the Big Bang.
Butterfly Pea Flower Syrup:
- 1 Part filtered water (150g)
- 1 Part white granulated sugar
- 20 pcs. dried Butterfly Pea Flower
