Cocktail Description
The Blue Almond Martini combines the elegance of a classic martini with a mesmerizing azure hue that transforms any cocktail hour into a special occasion.
This striking cocktail balances the botanical notes of London Dry gin with sweet almond orgeat and the bright citrus flavors of blue curaçao and fresh lemon juice. The result is a surprisingly complex sip that's simultaneously tart, sweet, and nutty with a subtle orange finish that lingers pleasantly. It's relatively simple to make, requiring only a proper shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass, making it accessible for home bartenders with basic tools. The Blue Almond Martini works beautifully as a pre-dinner drink for dinner parties or as a signature cocktail for summer gatherings and celebrations. Its vivid color and refined flavor profile pair wonderfully with lighter fare like seafood appetizers, particularly shrimp cocktail or oysters, while the almond notes complement desserts featuring stone fruits or citrus.
