Across the country bartenders are thinking differently about cocktails, pushing the boundaries by incorporating unusual flavours and ingredients. While savoury cocktails are on the rise, some of the playful combinations having the most success are dessert-style cocktails, encompassing all sorts of tastes and textures from ice cream and sorbet to more classic ingredients such as chocolate.
The cocktail menu at Bar LuLu within Sydney’s Luna Lu showcases a variety of flavours, including the bittersweet Morita Espresso Martini and the sweet and creamy White Chocolate Alexander, which blur the lines between desserts and cocktails.
