Elixír de la Alquimista: A Cocktail Inspired by the paintings of Remedios Varo
 |
| Alchemy, or, the Useless Science, Remedios Varo, 1958 |
1 oz Absinthe – for the Green Ray, a flash of green light that is said to appear immediately after the sun sets on the horizon
 |
| La Creación con Rayos Astrales, 1955 |
1 oz Pear Eau-de-Vie (Poire Williams) – the fruit must be conjured from a surreal orchard
 |
| A "prisonnière" Poire Williams |
0.5 oz Velvet Falernum – sweet spice, echoing ancient potions
0.5 oz Lemon Juice – the Yellow Moon in a cloudy astral sky
 |
| Valley of the Moon, 1950 |
0.5 oz Saffron-Honey Syrup – golden, alchemical, mysterious
1 dash Orange Blossom Water – floral, dreamlike
 |
| Floral Bouquet with Birds, 1960 |
Garnish with edible gold dust or a tiny sprig of lavender – to suggest apocalyptic horizons, or an easy passage into the dreamworld. Release 101 tropical birds into the room as you serve the cocktail.
 |
| Renacer, 1960 |
