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.
Head to Sydney’s first Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant, Vecino on Glebe Point Road for a dining experience to remember. With a name meaning ‘neighbours’ in Spanish, this Glebe restaurant oozes a funky vibe of glowing neon signage, exposed brick and graffiti-style artwork, ideal for after-work drinks with friends and memorable meals.
Watermelon sugar high, anyone? Introducing Vecino’s iconic cocktail for watermelon lovers – ideal for Mum on Mother’s Day – the Watermelon Ju.
Made using Soju – a clear, colourless distilled alcoholic beverage popular on the Korean Peninsula – this creative cocktail also features a subakba, which is a Korean popsicle, as either a garnish or to be devoured whole.
Usually consumed neat, Soju can range in alcoholic content from 12.9% to 53%, although since 2007 low-alcohol Soju has become more popular at around 20%.
Mint, lemon and edible flowers make this cocktail as pretty in the glass as on the palate – for a sweeter experience, melt your popsicle into your cocktail as you drink, or simply eat it whole separately!
