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.
Friends quickly become family at Pikkio Pizzeria Trattoria on Tower Street in Panania. This Sydney Italian dining destination is a place where people meet, relax and share relationships over authentic cuisine in a casual ambience ideal for lingering over a meal with a glass of vino, or a cheeky cocktail.
While perusing an extensive menu of pizza, pasta and seafood, Pikkio brings traditional dishes inspired by coast and mountain to the table; best enjoyed with a fun, sweet and tangy Purple Rain cocktail.
This drink’s colour is amazing and its wild take on a Margarita will leave you wanting more, while the name mirrors the iconic Prince song that we all know and love – purple for the hue and rain for the salt and sugar rim.
The mixology team at Pikkio tried everything to make the cocktail purple, using all sorts of concoctions to find the best flavours while retaining the brilliant colour.
This is definitely one drink fit for royalty!
