Come and discover the Almond Rocks cocktail at the bar and read on here to delve into what makes Almonds such a special botanical to Bombay Sapphire.
Almonds are thought to be among the first fruit trees (along with grapes, olives and dates) to have been farmed; they were a familiar sight on many Anglo-Saxon “healing plant” lists. The Spanish bitter Almonds used in Bombay Sapphire are ground to release their precious oils. A clean, rich taste is brought to the mix and more than a hint of nuttiness adds strength to the overall spirit. The oils released give the silky smooth mouth feel and texture associated with Bombay Sapphire.
To celebrate the Almond the Dusk Bar brings you the Almond Rocks created by T Bar’s Jake Blanch. The Almond Rocks is a fantastic summer twist on the iconic Bombay Sapphire Bramble. The inclusion of Orgeat (almond) syrup enhances the bitter sweet almond – just one of the ten exotic botanicals in Bombay Sapphire.
To create your own Almond Rocks simply Place 50ml Bombay Sapphire, 20ml fresh lemon juice, 4 blackberries and 10ml Orgeat (almond) syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add plenty of ice and shake. Strain into a tumbler glass filled with ice. Garnish with 2 short straws, a blackberry and some zested lemon. Beautiful!
