Unlock Zeta Bar's Secret Garden At Hilton Sydney: Blossoming With Cocktails And Afternoon Tea Every Friday Night; Sydney, Australia...
Hilton Sydney’s internationally acclaimed Zeta Bar has
launched the Friday night concept to be held every Friday from 15
February starting at 6 p.m., Zeta Bar’s outdoor terrace has been fancifully
transformed into a magical garden with beautifully manicured lawns and garden
furniture making it the perfect spot to while away a Friday afternoon.
Guests will wander through the hedge lined terrace or perch
in one of the garden pockets while listening to jazz presented by renowned
Sydney band ‘The Press Club’.
All this combined with a range of specially concocted garden
party inspired cocktails ranging from molecular to playful twists on classic
cocktails. The menu features a mixture of sprightly and herbaceous cocktails
including the Applicious Air, Tweedle Dum, Citric Bloom and the Secret Garden.
Zeta’s gardeners will wander through the garden offering a selection of
sparkling icy poles and jellies.
“Working with the two can be difficult due to the delicate
flavours of the wine," said Colin Tam, Zeta bar head bartender. "It’s
highly important for both to be perfectly balanced, we don't want to overpower
the wine but at the same time ensuring that the flavours enhance the notes of
the wine and compliment the flavours of the spirits.”
For the first time Zeta will serve a ‘Mistress Mary
afternoon tea’ that’s quite contrary, guests can complement their cocktails,
icy poles and jellies with a selection of chic bites that have been matched to
the cocktails on offer. A mixture of sweet and savoury the menu features dainty
sandwiches including crab, cucumber and watercress; and house smoked salmon,
rocket and cream cheese served on homemade brioche.
The culinary playfulness continues with sweet treats such as
raspberry mousse, chocolate and pistachio, an assortment of macarons; chamomile
cremeux served with fried basil accompanied with classic home baked scones
served with rose petal cream.
‘The Secret Garden’ has been whipped up by head bartender
Colin and his highly trained Zeta Bar team who were also behind the successful
‘Coney Island’ and ‘Farmers Market’ concepts. Each of the Zeta mixologists has
created a cocktail with inspirations ranging from their childhoods and
interpretations of the book ‘The Secret Garden’.
The team from Human Statue Bodyart will be once again
helping Hilton's Zeta Bar make the dream a reality, by providing some of the
talent (human statues and models) as well as other creative aspects to help
make this seasons Zeta Bar promotion one of the greatest ever.
See you in the Secret Garden.
