Spread the love

Sydneysiders are curious beings and love exploring. They also are obsessed with coffee….and it’s a mutual appreciation of these two loves that inspired Jackalberry Cocktail Bar and Mr Black to join forces in celebration of these infatuations. The Jackalberry Traveller’s High Tea takes diners on an epicurean adventure that combines flavours from around the world with Mr Black coffee cocktails.

Particularly timely, given the current travel and social restrictions we have been enduring, it’s time for some escapism and to take your taste buds on vacation. The food menu pays homage to a selection of ten notable and deserving ‘high tea’ delights from around the world.

A treasure trove with three tiers of stimulating sweet and savoury flavours starting at the traditional home of high tea in England, venturing on a journey through Europe and the Middle East, culminating here in Australia with the fan favourite lamington.

Journey through a creative collection of gourmand delights, perfectly paired with Mr Black’s adventurous and inventive coffee liqueur cocktails.

Where: Jackalberry Cocktail Bar, 161 Sussex Street, Sydney
When: Every Saturday Afternoon from 2pm- 5pm (From 24th October 2020 onwards)
