Cocktail Description

The Ginger Bloom brings together the botanical snap of London Dry gin with subtle apricot sweetness and aromatic bitters in a sophisticated sipper that feels like springtime in a glass.

This elegant cocktail balances the juniper-forward character of Beefeater with the luscious stone fruit notes from Giffard's premium apricot liqueur, while dry vermouth adds complexity and orange bitters provide a whisper of citrus spice. Despite its refined flavor profile, the Ginger Bloom is remarkably approachable to make at home—simply stir the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe for instant cocktail-bar quality. It shines as an aperitif before dinner or as a contemplative evening drink when you want something spirit-forward but not overpowering. The Ginger Bloom pairs beautifully with light appetizers like smoked salmon canapés, soft cheeses, or even spiced nuts, making it perfect for cocktail parties or intimate gatherings where sophisticated flavors are appreciated.
