The Grove At Home: Silk Robe
Fine dining establishment, The Grove, is more than just a restaurant, it is the crown jewel amongst Auckland’s superb culinary scene. Headed by owner, Michael Dearth, alongside Head Chef, Ryan Moore and Food & Beverage Director, Andrea Martinisi, The Grove was recently named 15th in the world on TripAdvisor’s 2021 Travellers’ Choice “Best of the Best” Restaurant’s list and serves up modern French-influenced cuisine in a degustation-style menu. They have also recently extended their offering to a bar snack menu for those looking for a more casual drink and bite after work.
Their extensive wine list and creative cocktail offering is curated by Andrea himself and luckily for us, he has shared a few of his exquisite cocktail recipes with us so that we can bring a little bit of The Grove home with us.
Silk Robe
Ingredients
- 45ml Broken Shed Vodka
- 20ml Alchermes Liqueur or Rose water
- 30ml Fresh Raspberry puree
- 30ml Lime Juice
- 30ml Cointreau
- 60ml Acqua Faba (chickpea water)
- 20ml Apple juice
- A splash of simple syrup
Preparation & Notes
Dry shake the acqua faba by itself until you have a very thick and fine mousse.
Then pour all the ingredients and ice, in the side of the shaker that doesn’t contain the foam, then shake well to incorporate everything.
Glass: large coupette
Garnish with flower petals arranged in a line, off-centre
It should always have a very thick foam.
Great at home, even better when made by the Sommelier himself. See for yourself and book a table at The Grove now.
