A premier destination for delectable fresh seafood and mouth-wateringly smoky char-grilled steak, Ember on Jonson Street in Byron Bay is renowned for exceptional food and warm hospitality. Expect a vibe in keeping with the coastal lifestyle; think potted palms, blond wood and a balmy alfresco area as you relax with a cheeky cocktail or two.
Next time you are in town, bartender Mauricio Gonzalez recommends trying the Peat Like Bourbon:
"We recommend this cocktail to start or finish the evening with as it has the perfect balance of bourbon and peated Scotch,” Mauricio explains.
"We wanted this cocktail to not only excite our guests but also be versatile and drinkable at any point in the evening.”
Ember garnishes the cocktail with smoke-infused rosemary and orange peel to elevate the drinking experience and ignite all the senses!
As for the cocktail’s name:
"We wanted to create a name playing on words, while incorporating both styles of liquor – Peat Likes Bourbon landed well among the team,” says Mauricio.
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.
