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.
Welcome 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.
In the heart of Fortitude Valley behind the green door discover bespoke cocktails and tapas at Nok Nok BNE on Brunswick Street. Those looking for a night out or planning a romantic rendezvous head to this elegant oasis-themed bar, tucked away behind an arched door with a brass knocker, featuring décor inspired by a classic speakeasy with a nod to modernity – think gold lamplit tables, hanging ferns, a curved gold and marble bar and Australian native wallpaper.
Try this wonderfully weird, more-ish, velvety and stupidly delicious cocktail The Hipster Breakfast next time you visit, which comes with the additional benefit of being called a ‘healthy breakfast cocktail’ given the half an avocado in the recipe.
The inspiration for the cocktail came from the venue manager who was on a romantic getaway to the Whitsundays, where he secured a cocktail kit, white rum and a handful of avocadoes so he and his partner could enjoy the cocktail for the rest of their time away – thus, the Hipster Breakfast was born.
It holds such a fond place in the hearts of the Nok Nok team that it had to become a feature on the cocktail menu.
The name is a playful dig at the breakfast commonly enjoyed by hipsters – avocado toast. Staff often joke to their customers that it’s just like a healthy breakfast, so they should feel good about drinking it!
