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.
Expect a unique dining experience punctuated by a vibrant atmosphere and professional service at new restaurant on the Adelaide block, Kiin on Angas Street in the heart of the city. A fun yet refined modern ambience with a warm and inviting vibe awaits local diners and visitors alike as they peruse a creative menu showcasing Chef Ben Bertei’s wealth of experience and Thai-inspired dishes.
Mixologist Edward Seffty delivers the Som Tum Sally cocktail as a tart Summer jam with a kick of chilli to keep the juices flowing – ideal for hot nights with a citrus breeze.
"Som Tum is actually a traditional Thai sour and spicy dish which I have taken flavours from and put into this cocktail,” he says. "Our venue Kiin – the Thai word for ‘eat’ – delivers modern Thai food. Inspired by the fresh and innovative dishes in our kitchen, I wanted to create a drink that complements our cuisine.”
Using mandarin and chilli gin along with ginger liqueur and bloody essence syrup, this cheeky concoction is the perfect accompaniment to an Australian Summer evening, it’s tart, the mandarin is fresh and the chilli surprising!
