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.
Experience the extraordinary at Steampunk on Surfers Paradise Boulevard on the Gold Coast. Located in the Hilton Building in Surfers Paradise, this go-to destination overlooks the street with a modernised Victorian-era décor creating an unforgettable ambience to match delectable cuisine and refreshing drinks.
Mixologist Bayden recommends trying Steampunk’s Dancing Fairy cocktail to get the party started:
"Try this drink for its enchanting blend of flavours and captivating presentation. Crafted with precision and passion, this cocktail is a delightful combination of premium spirits and vibrant ingredients that dance on your palate with every sip,” he says.
"Plus, its visually stunning presentation adds an extra touch of magic to your dining experience.”
The Dancing Fairy was one of the first Steampunk specialty cocktails on the drinks menu.
"The cocktail got its name from the unique combination of ingredients. With Green Fairy Absinthe and Red Bull as the main components, this concoction is truly one of a kind.
"What’s the real secret behind the name? It’s all about the Red Bull – the caffeine kick gives the fairies in the Absinthe a little extra pep, making them dance with delight!”
