No one does romance quite like the French. Which might explain why Sofitel Adelaide, its French-inspired restaurant, Garçon Bleu, and lobby bar Déjà Vu will forgo just one day of love to extend the hotel’s luxurious Valentine’s Day offers for the entire month of February.
Love-struck Cocktails for lovers at Garçon Bleu and Déjà Vu Bar
Get swept up in the moment at with a choice of two cocktails, custom-made for romance.
The Lovers’ cocktail is available at Garçon Bleu’s bar and includes white rum, rosewater, pink gin, sugar syrup and spanked rosemary. Vigorously shaken (not stirred) over ice, it’s a vision in pink that will set hearts racing this February. Priced at $22.
Sofitel Adelaide’s lobby bar, Déjà Vu, has also created a Valentine’s themed Love-Struck Mimosa with fresh strawberries, strawberry gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, red vermouth, Cointreau and sparkling Rose. Priced from $18.
