Moonlight Affair – Midnight Edition

No ratings yet

A sophisticated late-evening interpretation of the original Moonlight Affair. Floral Parfait d'Amour replaces Licor 43, while unsweetened cranberry juice brings a deep ruby-purple colour and vibrant freshness. Balanced with banana, strawberry and fresh lime, this elegant cocktail is designed for the quiet moments after sunset.

Moonlight Affair – Midnight Edition is a darker, more elegant companion to the original. Floral notes from Parfait d'Amour replace the warm vanilla of Licor 43, while cranberry juice adds vibrant acidity and a rich ruby-purple hue. Banana and strawberry remain subtly present, creating a beautifully balanced cocktail that's both refined and surprisingly approachable.

Best enjoyed slowly on warm summer evenings, beneath the stars, or whenever the night deserves something a little more special.

Notities

History:

Moonlight Affair – Midnight Edition was created as an elegant nocturnal companion to the original Moonlight Affair. Rather than simply changing the colour, the recipe was carefully rebalanced by replacing Licor 43 with Parfait d’Amour and orange juice with unsweetened cranberry juice. The result is a more floral, slightly drier and distinctly more mysterious interpretation while preserving the smooth fruit character that defines the original cocktail.

The recipe is served straight up in a chilled Nick & Nora glass to emphasise its refined appearance and concentrated flavours.

Together with Sunset Tease, Moonlight Affair and The Italian Job, Midnight Edition completes the journey from sunset to the final moments of a perfect summer evening.
