Warp Me! Cocktail

I don't remember how I found this, but this cocktail is from a list of Star Trek: Lower Decks cocktails I encountered. I thought I would give it a try. If anyone knows where this originated, let me know so I can credit the source.

As always, the recipe picture above is a 4x6 JPG. You can download it and print it on 4x6 photo paper to have the recipe for your personal recipe card file.

For equipment, you will need:

1. A refrigerator
2. Plain old tea spoon
3. Or mixing spoon if you have a bar set.
4. Champagne flute
5. The recipe does not specify, but make sure the flute is at least 8 fl. oz. Mine are only 6 fl. oz.
6. Measuring devices
7. You can use measuring spoons and cups, or you might have a jigger that could be used. I used spoons and cups.

For ingredients, you will need:

1. 1 fl. oz. tequila
2. ½ fl. oz. lemon liqueur (Lemoncello)
3. 3 fl. oz. Prosecco
4. 3 fl. oz. orange-pineapple-mango-apple juice blend
5. If you can't find it in your store, make it from scratch with this Instructables (which tastes better anyway!)
6. Splash of grenadine
7. Pinch of salt

Put all of the liquids in the refrigerator to chill.

Into the champagne flute, pour the tequila (1 fl. oz./2 tbsp.) and lemon liqueur (½ fl. oz./1 tbsp.).

Pour in the Prosecco until the glass is about half filled.

Pour in the juice blend until there is about 1.5cm of space left at the top of the glass (about the width of a pinkie finger).

Place the spoon across the top of the glass with the back of the spoon facing up. Slowly pour the grenadine over the back of the spoon. It should drizzle into the glass, making a red layer at the bottom of the cocktail. Sorry I couldn't show the actual process, but I needed a hand to operate the camera.

Top with a pinch of salt.

Sip and enjoy. The multiple layers changes the taste of the drink as you work your way through it. Honestly, I did not like the first sip but thoroughly enjoyed it by the last. Give it a try, and experiment with types of salt for even more depth of flavor.
