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.
Whether you are celebrating, catching up or just hanging out, it’s better with a drink in hand at Sasquatch Bar on Gympie Road in Brisbane. Chermside’s first craft beer bar and restaurant, Sasquatch is the place to see and be seen on the city’s Northside, with a moody vibe of polished concrete, communal tables, wall murals and hanging greenery setting the scene for inspired dining and drinking.
Mixologist Sarah Russ shares her cocktail recipe for El Pomelo – perfect for anyone looking for a new drink with the perfect amount of bite.
"We wanted a new way to enjoy tequila and what we've come up with is a refreshing bevvy that combines everything we could think of to complement tequila,” she explains.
"This cocktail has just the right balance of lime and pineapple with the sweet tartness of grapefruit liqueur and just the right amount of Chartreuse thrown in - because, let's face it, Chartreuse makes everything taste better.”
Drop into Sasquatch and enjoy this drink with dishes like authentic poutine with real cheese curds, seasoned fries and chicken gravy, or enjoy it at home with friends on a lazy Friday night!
