Cocktail Description
Imagine a silky cloud of delicate floral notes and nutty sweetness that floats across your palate with each sip—that's the Hotel Georgia Cocktail in a nutshell.
This elegant cocktail balances the botanical punch of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the rich, marzipan-like sweetness of almond orgeat syrup, while fresh lemon juice provides a bright, zesty counterpoint. The orange flower water adds subtle perfumed notes that complement the gin's juniper core, and the egg white creates that luxurious, velvety texture that makes sours so irresistible. A relatively straightforward cocktail to prepare, it requires both a wet and dry shake to achieve its perfect foamy cap, making it accessible to home bartenders with basic skills. The Hotel Georgia Cocktail shines as an aperitif for spring and summer gatherings, particularly outdoor brunches or sophisticated evening soirées. For food pairings, this cocktail works beautifully with Mediterranean dishes like grilled fish with herbs, citrus-marinated olives, or even a light almond cake for dessert.
