Indulge in the Tanqueray Almond Cocktail
The Tanqueray Almond Cocktail is an easy-to-make drink that blends Tanqueray's botanical depth with the rich, nutty taste of almonds.
One gin that has remained a favourite among connoisseurs throughout the ages is Tanqueray.
Known for its crisp, juniper-forward profile, Tanqueray provides a perfect base for a wide range of cocktails, including the classic Tanqueray and Tonic, the refreshing Tanqueray Gimlet, and the zesty Tanqueray Negroni.
Today, we explore a unique and sophisticated concoction: the Tanqueray Almond Cocktail. This drink combines the botanical complexity of Tanqueray with the concentrated almond-oil notes of Disaronno Amaretto.
Ingredients
- 50ml Tanqueray Gin
- 10ml Disaronno Amaretto (although there are other fine almond liqueurs worth exploring)
- 20ml fresh lemon juice
- 10ml simple syrup
- 1 dash Angostura Bitters
- Ice
- Lemon twist or cherries (for garnish)
