Today is my mom’s birthday … Happy Birthday Ma!!
In honour of the day, I asked ChatGPT to suggest a cocktail we might make to help celebrate this wonderful day. Here’s what I got …
My Prompt: Please create a delicious tarot-themed vegetarian cocktail to celebrate my mother’s birthday – include specific ingredients and instructions
THE EMPRESS ELIXER
Ingredients:
•2 oz pomegranate juice (symbolizes the abundance and richness associated with The Empress)
•1 oz elderflower liqueur (for a floral, nurturing touch)
•1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (adds brightness and balance)
•2 oz sparkling water (for a touch of effervescence)
•1/2 tsp edible rose water (for subtle, aromatic notes)
•Fresh mint leaves (garnish for freshness and connection to nature)
•Edible flowers (garnish for beauty and elegance)
•Crushed ice
Instructions:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the pomegranate juice, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and rose water to the shaker.
- Shake well for about 10-15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice.
- Top with sparkling water to add a hint of effervescence.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and edible flowers to complete the look and flavour profile.
Optional Tarot Touch:
Place a mini tarot card (or an image of The Empress card) by the glass for an extra personal and thematic decoration.
Sounds sweet … just like my Ma. Cheers!
