It’s that magical time of the day…the sun is setting and dusk brings peace and quiet to the end of the working week.
It’s the perfect opportunity for a cocktail, or two! Cin cin, it’s Cocktail Week at AGFG and do we have some great tips, recipes and articles to share with you.
Marie-Antoinette Issa takes us around the world in mixed drinks – from an Aperol Spritz in Italy to Mexican Margaritas, these classic cocktails from around the globe are both a perfect option for those after a cool drink and an insight into the local culture.
She also delivers the ultimate guide and expert tips on pairing cocktails with complementary foods – just like wine, matching the characteristics of your favourite cocktail with a complementary dish can enhance both the drinking and dining experience.
Find out all the ins and outs from Julene Andres, Manager of Sydney’s Bar Lucia to help you become a master of mixology and culinary harmony. If you are not sure what glass to serve your concoction in, we have you covered along with how to build a bar at home for the ultimate cocktail session.
