A Glamorous Twist on a Classic Cocktail
The city that never sleeps played host to the Grammys in 2018, and to mark the occasion, Ocean Prime created a show-stopping cocktail inspired by Bruno Mars’ hit album “24K Magic”. The result was a modern spin on the classic gimlet, infused with the freshness of cucumber and the smoothness of Bombay Sapphire gin.
A Refreshing Blend of Flavors
This 24K Gimlet is a masterclass in balance and harmony, with the subtle sweetness of simple syrup and the zesty zing of freshly squeezed lime juice coming together in perfect harmony. The real star of the show, however, is the cucumber – muddled to perfection to release its refreshing essence and add a clean, crisp character to the drink.
Sip, Savor, and Dance the Night Away
Just like Bruno Mars’ iconic album, this cocktail is a fresh take on a timeless classic. With its smooth, velvety texture and irresistible flavor, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a night out on the town or a glamorous evening in.
