Aaron Howard, Bars Manager for The Langham, Gold Coast said the menu had been carefully crafted to suit the bar’s coastal location and luxurious look and feel.
“Our five signature exotic cocktails have been concepted and created by our talented mixologists to suit a range of tastes. For those wanting something bubbly and sweet, you can’t go past the Cherry Blossoms and for the flipside, more of a smooth, fruity but dark mix, the Drama & Karma is a must-try,” Howard said.
“We’ve incorporated a focus on sourcing local ingredients including a range of carefully selected Australian herbs and botanicals, fresh ingredients from our local produce partners, and a range alcohols and spirits from the Gold Coast region.”
Boasting a modern Asian fusion, Coral Moon will pair drinks with a range of signature dishes and bites including a duo of BBQ pork baos, Takaoyaki (battered Japanese octopus balls), Cantonese-style boneless fried chicken, eggplant and pumpkin tempura, and crunchy, vegetarian spring rolls.
