VANILLA SKY

VANILLA SKY

The Enveloping Cocktail by Ligure Blue Bar

When the cold invites moments of comfort and relaxation, “Vanilla Sky”, crafted by Ligure Blue Bar, brings warmth straight to your glass. A refined and harmonious blend where vodka, date, hazelnut, vanilla, rooibos, and American black walnut come together to create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for this season.

The cocktail’s name is a tribute to art: it was inspired by a painting by Claude Monet, La Seine at Argenteuil, with those characteristic “vanilla skies” that evoke dreams, memories, and inner calm. Just like the painting, the cocktail transports the taster to a suspended moment, where warm flavors and colors take center stage.

A Sensory Experience

Every ingredient is carefully selected to evoke a wintery essence:

• Vodka is not just the alcoholic base but an invisible thread that ties the flavors together without overpowering them.

• Date and hazelnut add sweetness and roundness.

• Vanilla and rooibos provide warm, enveloping notes, while American black walnut contributes a bold and slightly spiced character.

And that’s not all: the garnish is a little masterpiece in itself. A steamed chestnut, delicately dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder, completes the experience, turning every sip into a moment of sensory pleasure.

Why Choose Vodka?

The choice of vodka as the cocktail’s alcoholic core is deliberate. Its neutrality allows each ingredient to shine, providing the right alcohol content without altering the flavors. The result is a balanced, elegant cocktail that is incredibly enjoyable on the palate.

Winter in a Glass

“Vanilla Sky” is more than just a cocktail: it’s a moment to savor, a small ritual that warms the heart. Perfect for intimate evenings, special aperitifs, or as a refined end to a dinner, this drink carries an invitation to slow down and indulge in contemplation.
