Art, textures and romantic elegance are what you’ll discover at Marcel Bar & Bistro on Mulgoa Road in Penrith. Wind down, relax and enjoy the theatre of the resident mixologist or visit the elegant dining room where the culinary team showcases fresh local produce, best enjoyed with a drop from the extensive carefully curated wine list, or a cheeky cocktail.
Next time you stop in, take Mixologist Dylan Sweep’s advice and try the Yuzu Fizz cocktail:
"It’s a refreshing take on a classic Gin Fizz using yuzu as the hero, to give a delicious citrus blend that is smooth and easy to drink,” he explains.
The cocktail came about from a bar that Dylan frequented many years ago. It’s gone through many changes and trials over the years, to get it to where it is today and to work with seasonal menus as a standout cocktail.
"Originally the Marcel version of this cocktail had the yellow zest garnish however during the photo shoot we played with a lime zest instead which popped on camera and we’ve since adapted to use that,” Dylan says.
The cocktail’s name is a blend between the hero ingredient yuzu and the classic it takes after - the Gin Fizz.
Try this cocktail on a Friday afternoon to relax after a long and stressful work week. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
