The Frank Gehry Cocktail Recipe

Instructions

• 1

  Take a non-metallic bowl and pour 1 ounce of water and 4 ounces of tonic water into it. Combine both ingredients until mix thoroughly.
• 2

  Now add 1/4 ounce of unflavoured gelatine into the non-metallic bowl and stir vigorously for approximately 2 minutes until the ingredients mix well. Now microwave your mixture on high temperature for about 30 seconds.
• 3

  Remove the mixture from microwave, add 3 ounces of vodka and 1 teaspoon of fresh limejuice into it and stir it vigorously for almost 2 to 3 minutes until the gelatine globules dissolve completely.
• 4

  Now, gradually pour this mixture into two of the 4-ounce whiskey glasses and place them in refrigerator for at least an hour.
• 5

  Meanwhile, take a long piece of twine and place it horizontally across a large baking sheet. Now cover it completely with a Silpat silicon-baking mat. Set it aside at room temperature.
• 6

  Now, take a heavy-bottomed pot with the absinthe or a Versinthe and place 1 pound of sugar and one or two drops of blue food colouring in it.
• 7

  Put this sugar mixture on the heat and stir it gently over a low flame until the sugar melts thoroughly.
• 8

  Remove you sugar mixture from the heat it gets any hotter and burns. Now, gradually pour it onto the Silpat. Make sure that your mixture spreads out into a broad, shallow pool.
• 9

  Set it aside at room temperature for one or two minutes until cool.
• 10

  Gradually elevate the middle of the Silpat 2 or 3 inches with the help of the string and hold it in such a position that the sugar sets.  Do not elevate until the mixture is hard and form a thin curved green sheet.
• 11

  Now, tap the thin green sheet lightly at the base of the curve; so that it should blight into a cluster of zigzag or curved panels.
• 12

  Gently remove the gelatine shots from your refrigerator and submerge them halfway in pre-warm water for few minutes until soft.
• 13

  Now, jar the gelatine shots into the middle of an inverted saucer of clear glass.
• 14

  Grab a channel knife and cut two 8 to 10 inch strips of fresh lime peel.
• 15

  Gently surround the gelatine shots with artistically arranged panels of sugar and pin the strips of fresh lime peel with a toothpick or a silver cocktail pick
• 16

  Now, draw the peel around the drink, holding it together very tightly and serve immediately.
