SOLAR ECLIPSE SOUR

ENERGIES: purification, protection, grounding, spirituality

MOON(S): solar eclipse, in Leo

 

 

Solar eclipses can often act as doorways to new beginnings, signifying powerful change in one’s life. With elements drawing on the moon and the sun, and a red wine float covering an otherwise bright color just like the moon covering the sun, this 1870 Sour variation is symbolic of the solar eclipse both in visual representation and ingredient alignment. Mix egg white to symbolize rebirth, cinnamon for vibration raising, and blueberry for psychic protection, and you have a concoction to help ground and protect your energy during this celestial event.

 

Serves 1

4 fresh blueberries

1?8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3?4 ounce Simple Syrup

1 ounce lemon juice

1?2 ounce pulp-free orange juice

1 egg white

1 jigger (11?2 ounces) bourbon

1?2 ounce dry red wine

1 lemon slice, smoked, for garnish

 

Muddle blueberries, cinnamon, and Simple Syrup together in a cocktail shaker. Add lemon juice, orange juice, egg white, bourbon, and ice to fill. Shake. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice and float red wine on top. Garnish with smoked lemon slice.
