Tonight’s Gemstone: Diamond
“The Miracle of Earth that Shines Eternally”
～Stardust Martini～
Tonight, the cocktail worthy of the diamond is the “Stardust Martini”. This cocktail, with its clear and transparent appearance, reminds one of the sparkle of a diamond and lifts your spirits with each sip. First, pour 50ml of dry gin and 10ml of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with plenty of ice. Shake lightly and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Twist a lemon peel over the top for aroma, and finally, garnish with a clear diamond-like decoration to complete it. Simple yet sophisticated, its flavor, like a diamond, never fades.
Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth and are unmatched in durability compared to any other mineral. Their clarity and brilliance are reminiscent of the stars in the night sky. Diamonds are crystals formed from carbon deep in the Earth’s mantle under extreme pressure and heat, brought to the surface over millions of years through volcanic activity. The diamonds that appear before us after such a long journey are truly a work of art of time and nature.
When I think of diamonds, I recall “Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92”. The rhythmic and powerful melody of this piece seems to express the solid and unchanging nature of diamonds in music. The melancholic and beautiful melody of the second movement evokes the delicate prism of light emitted by a diamond. The passionate yet elegant atmosphere of this piece symbolizes the universal beauty and perfection of the diamond.(From the Classical Masterpieces Sound Library)
A famous diamond-related story is that of the “Koh-i-Noor”. This diamond has been owned by various royals and rulers throughout history, spawning numerous legends. One such legend says that whoever owns the diamond can rule the world, but it also brings misfortune to any man who owns it. Therefore, it is said that only women can wear this diamond. Thus, diamonds captivate people not only with their beauty but also with their rich history and legends.
It seems I’ve talked a bit too much. It’s already this late. Did you enjoy our time together?
