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.
Find where the flavours of South-east Asia artfully collide at Rumble restaurant on Pyrmont Street in Pyrmont. Located on Level G Harbourside of The Star, Rumble is the latest spark in the casino’s dining precinct, chasing bold flavours that bring punchy tastes to complement quality local produce; expect a warm, immersive experience in a beautiful setting of natural quality materials and traditional cues.
Mixologist Patty Chareonsuk recommends trying the Piquancy cocktail – named after flavours which are sharp, spicy and tangy – all found in abundance in this drink.
"I love this drink because it differs from your usual cocktail. It encapsulates the flavours of Southeast Asia and incorporates the flavours I grew up with from back home in Thailand. It’s a nice balance of sweet, spicy, salty and sour,” she says.
Based on flavours found in a Thai dish called larb moo, which is full of umami and spice, Piquancy is best enjoyed before a meal as an aperitif.
