The Pelagic

The Pelagic cocktail is a specified riff on an Aviation, using an iris infused gin, and creme de butterfly instead of creme de violette. It's truly a drink that looks like bio-luminescent plankton floating in the sea.

Notes

This cocktail comes in at 31% abv, or 62.1 Proof. This makes it quite a strong cocktail, but I promise you that after your first sip you won't even feel like you're drinking strong alcohol. The night I invented this drink I had 6 in a row while binge watching a Netflix show and didn't even realize how much I was actually drinking.
