With summer commencing and people longing to travel again, Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour invites you to celebrate with your nearest and dearest this festive season. Experience Joie De Vivie, the joy of living, by travelling around the world (in Sydney!) with a cocktail menu developed in partnership with Sofitel hotels globally.
Bid 2020 farewell in style as you admire Sydney's skyline sipping on the following cocktails at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour's prestigious Champagne Bar, available throughout the month of December:
- MISS FAUBOURG Champagne, homemade strawberry essence, Maraschino liquor, hibiscus syrup. Created by Aurélie Bourre, Manager at 'Le Bar du Faubourg' at Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg. Take a sip and be transported into one of Paris' most stylish cocktail bars, a stone's throw away from the Champs Elysées.
- SUNSET ON FIJI Orange & cardamom-infused rum, kaffir lime juice, mango puree, cinnamon syrup, pineapple & lemongrass sorbet. Created by Clément Cujus, Head Mixologist at Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa. Get a taste of the Fiji sunset with this refreshing cocktail, elegantly blending tropical fruits and spices.
- MEXICAN EAGLE Tanqueray Gin, Chartreuse, Bruxo Mezcal No.1, Lemon juice, syrup, celery bitters. Created by Riesler Alberto Morales, Bar Manager at Sofitel Mexico City Reforma. Indulge in the tantalising notes of this Mezcal based cocktail, very floral on the nose with a hint of smokiness, citrus and cinnamon, arriving to you from Sofitel's much-anticipated new property – the first luxury hotel to arrive in Mexico City in over a decade.
- RATATOUILLE Botanical Gin, Cointreau liqueur, fresh lime juice, ratatouille, homemade wine foam. A signature recipe from 'Toya Beach Bar' at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua. A playful twist on the vegetable-based peasant dish from Provence. Behind this surprising cocktail is the belief that everybody can be special – no matter how humble their origins.
- THE EARL OF MANHATTAN Small-batch Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, Carpano Vermouth. A signature recipe from 'Gaby Bar' at Sofitel New York. A one-way ticket to Manhattan, balancing the elegant spicy notes of this acclaimed bourbon with the bitterness of the vermouth.
