Bringing good luck vibes to Salamanca Square in Hobart, head to Asian-inspired canteen and cocktail bar Suzie Luck’s for a unique twist on the best and freshest Tasmanian produce. This family-owned restaurant presents the authentic tastes of Thailand and Vietnam to diners in a friendly atmosphere where stories are shared and local produce celebrated.
Perhaps perch on a stool at the tiled bar for a cocktail or two, before heading to a banquette seated table, strewn with colourful cushions, to chill out and peruse a menu boasting everything from bar snacks to curries and steak.
Mixologist and Venue Manager, Rabin Sapkota recommends sipping a Kaffir Lime Margarita next time you drop by:
"This cocktail is simple yet delicious. It is curated based on classic Margarita, adding Suzie flair which means it is a mixture of flavours - sweet, citrus and a slight kick from chilli - along with a salt rim,” he explains. "We added Malibu to see how people would react and were surprised with how everyone still loves Malibu.
"It is safe to say, old is still gold!”
The cocktail’s name comes from a local lady who brings kaffir lime leaves to the restaurant from her backyard.
"We use them in our curries as well as in this cocktail. Kaffir lime is one of the quintessential Thai ingredients, hence we wanted to recognise it, so we named the cocktail after kaffir lime.”
Try this cocktail on a Friday afternoon to relax after a long and stressful work week. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
