To celebrate World Martini Day, The Botanist Gin has teamed up with Sydney city rooftop bar, Bar Ombré to create a dedicated menu featuring stunning martinis paired with delicious food. The menu will be available from Sunday 19th June, until Sunday 17th July.
The Botanist Gin x Bar Ombré Martini menu consists of five different martinis that have been perfectly paired with food items that complement the flavours.
The Classic Dry Martini kicks off the menu paired with Marinated Italian Olives, while the vibrant Mandarin Gimlet has been paired with Prawn and Saffron Risotto. For those after a zesty cocktail, they can try the Lemon Balm Martini alongside a Pesce Del Giorno, while guests who are after a cocktail reminiscent of springtime can try an Elderflower and Mint Martini and pair it with a Lentil and Kale Salad. If you are satisfying a sweet tooth, try the smooth Island Dreaming alongside the Nutella Pizza.
Right in the heart of Sydney is where you will find a little slice of the Amalfi Coast in the form of Bar Ombré. Perched atop the Gateway building in Circular Quay, you can expect sweeping views of the city skyline and Sydney Harbour. Dazzling by day and spectacular by night, not to mention the gradient (or in this case, Ombré) of blue sky through to fiery pinks at sunset.
The inviting setting of Bar Ombré is a perfect place to sit back and relax with a Botanist Gin Martini. The Botanist Gin has a versatile mouthfeel to suit any martini, with sweet and earthy aromas from the Islay 22 botanicals, as well as lovely floral and herbal overtones. Every sip of this gin reveals deeper layers of complexity and more nuanced flavour combinations.
Each martini can be purchased on its own but the food pairings are recommended to experience the full tasting sensations. To book your paired martini experience contact Bar Ombré.
