Bakewell Tart Sour
Exactly as the name suggests. Also works well served straight-up in a coupe

A Bakewell tart is basically an almond frangipane with a thin layer of jam in a pastry case. If you like them (or haven't tasted one and would like to), drink this -- this is a Bakewell tart in alcoholic, liquid form. Normally very dubious of 'transcriptions' of other foods, I found this one delicious and very more-ish. One note of caution: consider make it slightly light on the lemon and then testing. Maybe it's just a seasonal thing, but I'm finding the lemons very sharp at the moment.

As someone who never had a Bakewell Tart, thanks. This is exactly what I imagine it would taste like, minus the lemon juice.

We have since transferred our affections to (Simon's own) Cherry Bakewell, one portion split between two Nick & Nora glasses. The UK supermarket Waitrose does a Morello Cherry and Almond Tart and we paired that with the Cherry Bakewell cocktail for a dinner party, with spectacular success. Pairing rich desserts with magnificent cocktails is a tough job, but someone has to do it :)

Thanks for the tip. At first glance I was going to pass on the lemon juice…
