Are you an adventurous Sagittarius, always on the hunt for the newest cocktail out there? An indecisive Libra who can’t make your mind up when looking at a bar menu? Or maybe you’re a Pisces and too busy daydreaming to read the drinks list?
Observatory Bar situated inside The Langham, Sydney has the answer to all your ordering woes; even more so, if you’re a gin-lover.
Introducing “The Zodiac Gin Collection”
The team at Observatory Bar are proud to launch a new menu of twelve Gin & Tonic’s, each representing a star sign of the Zodiac.
Each G&T is designed to represent the characteristics and personality traits of its sign. For a passionate, fiery Aries, there’s Mezcal Gin with chilli. For the nostalgic and sentimental Cancerian, enjoy the Four Pillars Barrel-Aged Chardonnay Gin with dried orange. The G&T for the tough-minded and sometimes secretive Scorpio is Ironbark 313 Wattleseed Dry Gin with orange and coffee beans. And for the Libran who likes all things pretty, it’s Manly Spirits Lilly Pilly Pink Gin with flowers and frozen raspberries.
Eric Lo, Food & Beverage Manager of The Langham, Sydney says,
“Gin & Tonics are still trending and hugely popular but they can become repetitive and lack excitement. We wanted to elevate the G&T experience and give our guests something a little extra. With a nod to Sydney’s Observatory across the road and our very own name, what better way to liven up our G&T menu, than with The Zodiac Gin Collection. We hope that everyone enjoys them as much as we have, putting the menu together.”
Australia’s Most Romantic Cocktail: The Langham Signature – The Pink Rose
Further to the new Gin Menu, The Langham, Sydney are thrilled to launch the long-awaited Langham Signature cocktail – The Pink Rose. Confidently, named by guests as Australia’s Most Romantic Cocktail.
The Pink Rose is the essence of The Langham – in a glass. Any regular guest to the hotel will recognise that unique scent – the signature Ginger Flower. Taking inspiration from this subtle aroma, The Langham Lady Thatcher pink roses and the traditional Victorian elegance, bartender Kenneth Wong from Observatory Bar created this beautifully curated cocktail. Incorporating Gin, Rose and Ginger Beer, this is a must-try for any lover of The Langham.
