Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to mark the royal wedding with a street party this coming Friday, but plenty more will be celebrating in Britain’s bars. Many operators are planning a weekend-long party after the government allowed them to stay open until 1am on the nights of Friday 29th and Saturday 30th, and special wedding-themed cocktails have been appearing on menus.
Quintessential English ingredients have been used by mixologist Tristan Stephenson of London bars Purl and the soon-to-open Worship Street Whistling Shop. He has created the Royal Jam cocktail using Williams apple gin, produced by Chase Distillery in Herefordshire. This is combined with English strawberry jam, lemon juice, lavender bitters and a splash of Nyetimber Brut, the sparkling wine from Kent. With a flavour profile based on an English Victoria sponge, it is served in a gilded bone china tea cup and saucer. It is accompanied by a pot of Earl Grey tea but not for drinking – dry ice is dropped into the pot to billow out aromatic steam around the drinker to add to the experience. [Read the full story HERE]
