Tonight’s Gem: Amber
“The Timeless Luster of Amber”
First, let me introduce you to a cocktail that complements amber. We present the “Baltic Sunset,” an original cocktail based on Sunset Beach. This cocktail embodies the warmth and history of amber. While Sunset Beach is typically served as a non-alcoholic cocktail, the Baltic Sunset is alcohol-based. Made with orange juice, vodka, and apricot brandy, topped with a light float of grenadine syrup, it creates a gradient reminiscent of a sunset.
First, pour 30ml of vodka and 15ml of apricot brandy into a glass filled with ice, and fill it with orange juice. Finally, slowly adding grenadine syrup recreates the beauty of a sunset over the sea. Drinking this cocktail, you may feel the long history of amber and the natural beauty encapsulated within.
Amber, formed from resin fossilized millions of years ago, sometimes contains ancient organisms. This golden stone, also known as “Kohaku,” is loved for its beauty and historical value. The charm of amber lies in its transparency and deep hues. Especially when viewed in sunlight, its beauty is unparalleled.
Amber also has the property of developing static electricity and has been treasured since ancient times as a talisman for protection and good fortune. Amber is a very special stone that lets us feel the wonder of nature and the history of the Earth.
While gazing at amber, why not listen to Dvořák’s “Slavonic Dance No. 2”? This piece reflects the passionate and rich culture of the Baltic Sea region, where amber originated. The rhythmic and lively melody of the Slavonic Dance symbolizes the warm and vibrant characteristics of amber.
Dvořák incorporated Slavic folk music, elevating the traditions and allure of the land into music. The powerful rhythm and progression of the melody evoke the long history of amber and the vitality of life trapped within.
Additionally, the bright and cheerful atmosphere of the Slavonic Dance seems to express the mystical beauty of amber and the joy of life hidden within. Listening to this music while pondering the unique charm and origins of amber is truly an invitation to a journey through time.
The Baltic Sea coast has a history of amber mining. From ancient times to the present, amber has been known as the “Gold of the North,” influencing many cultures and histories. Especially in the countries around the Baltic Sea, numerous decorative items and artworks made from amber have been created, holding high value even today. In addition, insects and plant fossils trapped in amber play an important role in scientific research, serving as valuable resources for understanding the history of the Earth.
