The team at the five-star Westbury hotel have created a special afternoon tea experience inspired by the Raindance 25 collection from neighbouring Grafton Street jewellers, Boodles, creators of fine jewellery since 1798.

Inspired by the beautiful rosy shade of Argyle pink diamonds, and in homage to the long history of the five-star hotel’s luxurious Grafton Street neighbours, Boodles Afternoon Tea at The Westbury reflects the delicate designs of Boodles’ glittering Raindance 25 collection.

Served in The Gallery overlooking Dublin’s Grafton Street, it includes The Westbury’s exquisite selection of freshly prepared sandwiches and scones alongside five newly created miniature handmade desserts

The elegant selection of confections includes the Chocolate Choux, a light, buttery cocoa choux pastry topped with a sweet crunchy biscuit crust, filled with milk chocolate mousse, served on a chocolate sablé biscuit; the Lemon Posset, Blueberry Compote, a rich, smooth and zesty lemon cream topped with homemade blueberry compote, and finished with gold leaf and chocolate pearls.

There’s the Pistachio and Vanilla Opera, resembling a Boodles gift box and featuring roasted pistachio flavoured buttercream layered with Chambord-soaked sponge and whipped vanilla ganache, covered in rich pistachio glaze; the White Chocolate and Raspberry Crémeux, a velvety white chocolate and raspberry cream centre enrobed in raspberry chocolate with crunchy raspberry chips, on a sablé, topped with silver and rose gold chocolate pearls inspired by the Raindance 25 diamond and rose gold bracelet.

Last but by no means least, is the Strawberry Heart Petit Gâteau, a Champagne strawberry mousse entremet with a mascarpone vanilla centre, almond sponge and almond sablé base.

Boodles Afternoon Tea at The Westbury, €75 or €98 to include a glass of Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV, is available from October 1.
