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.
Hidden in the grounds of the University of Sydney, The Grandstand on Blackburn Oval in Camperdown is the place to head to enjoy international fare in an electric atmosphere. Inside is warm and inviting with polished wood, stacked stone and glass doors opening onto a covered alfresco area; open for lunch three days a week, drop in to refuel and recharge with a glass of wine and tasty meal.
Who better to ask for a cocktail recipe in anticipation of the NRL Grand Final on Sunday, October 1? There’s nothing that says a winner more than a Cheeky Hot Chocolate to get you through a footy match - this cocktail won’t disappoint.
According to The Grandstand mixologists, alcohol is stronger when it’s hot…this divine drink is lined in the bottom of the glass with melted rich cinnamon and chocolate syrup, with the addition of maple syrup, warm milk and a shot of the good stuff – whisky!
Enjoy as you watch the Panthers attempt a three-peat!
