Technically, it’s not drinking alone if the bartender is there!
You know the drill…it’s Friday afternoon and time to relax after a long and stressful work week.
What better way to chill out than with a cocktail at your favourite bar or restaurant. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
Say cheers to our Cocktail of the Week series, where each Friday we will highlight a cheeky creation to tantalise tastebuds and set the tone for good times.
Bringing a slice of the Greek Islands to Bondi Beach, head to Ikaria on Campbell Parade for Mediterranean mezze and cocktails. Named after the island where Icarus is believed to have fallen into the sea after trying to fly to the sun with wax wings, this bright and breezy dining destination blends cane furniture with tiles and furnishings to create an oasis with water views, ideal for sharing plates and drinks with friends.
Mixologist Carlo Martin Valdivia is the inspiration behind many of the venue’s creations, including this Blue Zone Margarita.
"Inspired by the island of Ikaria, known as a Blue Zone, this cocktail is a perfect balance between sweet and sour and very refreshing on the palate,” he says.
"Always use fresh lime to give the freshest and authentic flavour of a nice refreshing Margarita - also use 100% agave Tequila and good quality Blue Curacao.”
The theatre of the rosemary smoke as the cocktail is brought to the table is sure to be a talking point for many happy hours to come!
