Bienvenue sur le blog de la soirée des partenaires du Lycée Pierre Marie Théas !

Welcome to the blog for the Pierre Marie Théas High School partners' evening!

We are delighted to share with you the highlights of this memorable evening, which took place on March 9, 2023, with 45 guests. The event began with Saint Amans Gin, and we prepared an assortment of dishes specially designed to complement the gin-based cocktails. Here's a glimpse of the culinary delights we offered:

Appetizer: To kick things off in style, we served a delicious foie gras crème brûlée, accompanied by a steamed celery candy. This subtle combination of flavors delighted our guests' taste buds.

Now for the evening's main attraction: cocktails made with Saint Amans Gin. Our cocktail menu offered a variety of choices to suit all tastes. Here are some of the creations on offer:

  1. London Mule: This refreshing cocktail harmoniously blends gin, lime, ginger beer, and Angostura. Its fresh and spicy taste has won over many.

  2. Negroni: This cocktail, specially concocted with Saint Amans Gin, combines strength and bitterness for lovers of intense flavors.

  3. Pink (or Purple) Lady: A cocktail made with Rosé Gin, lemon and grenadine (or violet syrup) that offers a fruity and tangy experience, with a floral touch.

  4. Gin and Tonic: The timeless classic, revisited with Gin Saint Amans. This blend of gin, tonic water, lemon, aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary), and berries (juniper and other fruits depending on availability) provides a sparkling and refreshing experience.

During the evening, Anne de Saint Amans, a representative of the gin brand, led a masterclass for the high school students. She shared valuable information on the basic ingredients, production, distillation, blending, and aging of Saint Amans Gin. The students had the opportunity to learn directly from the expert and ask any questions they had.

The students were also responsible for preparing the cocktails and were able to explain to the guests the process of making Saint Amans Gin. They showcased their talent by carefully crafting the cocktails and shared with the guests the characteristics of gin and cocktail recipes. The evening was extremely well received by the guests, who were delighted by the quality of the cocktails offered.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the participants—students, teachers, and, of course, partners—for making this evening an unforgettable experience. We hope you enjoyed this dive into the world of Saint Amans Gin as much as we did. Stay tuned for future events and exciting culinary discoveries!
