Embrace ‘Alto Tango’ At Zeta Bar
Experience
A Sophisticated, Cultural And Sensual Journey Every Friday
Sydney– 20 June 2013 – Hilton
Sydney’s internationally acclaimed Zeta Bar evokes dramatic mystique
with the launch of its new cocktail concept ‘Alto Tango’ – translation ‘High
Tango’. Delve into the romance and seduction of the world’s only UNESCO
heritage listed dance – Tango - presented with a side of Zeta Bar’s friskiness.
Dancing
its way every Friday from 12 July, Zeta Bar will be transformed into an
experiential venue reminiscent of the glamour of 1930s Buenos
Aires. A sensual, social, captivating place with bespoke cocktails, delightful South American inspired
food, and improv entertainment. This is what guests can expect to see, hear and taste at ‘Alto Tango’, the perfect spot
to while away a winter’s Friday night.
Guided through the evolution
of Tango, guests will enjoy dancing silhouettes who will express stories
depicting seduction, jealousy and rivalry between two men and a woman. Guests
will be further immersed in the authentic sounds of Tango presented by Sydney’s
most renowned Tango performers, ‘Fuego Blanco’ guided by Maggie Ferguson – all graduates
of Sydney’s Conservatorium of music and The University of NSW. The traditions
will be juxtaposed with Zeta Bar’s resident DJ mixing ‘electro-tango’ beats,
the ever popular body art live statue, a timeless photo booth and lively light
projections.
For an extra special treat,
performing for one night only on 19 July, get up close and personal with World
Champion Tango dancers Daniel Nacucchio and Cristina Sosa*. Guests can also
sign up for Tango lessons at Zeta Bar on July 20 and 21.
‘Alto Tango’ has been
choreographed by the Zeta Bar team in conjunction with renowned mixologist, Russ
McFadden from Behind Bars. ‘Alto Tango’ seamlessly combines molecular mixology
and classic cocktails. The quirky list features carefully crafted cocktails
including Chimichurri Shrub, Two to Tango, Malbec Mulled Wine, Sangria and a
selection of Argentine wines and beers.
Russ said, “Zeta Bar is renowned for pioneering
innovative cocktail concepts. ‘Alto Tango’ at Zeta is a quirky and interactive
way to showcase the talent of our mixologists. We always have fun showcasing to
our guests the creative construction and inspirations that goes behind creating
the Zeta cocktail concepts.”
‘Alto Tango’s’ food offering
packs an impressive punch with Hilton Sydney’s executive chef, Carl Middleton
promising to romance patron’s palates with a mouth-watering exploration of traditional
South American cuisine ranging from a deconstructed choripan served with
chimichurri and salsa criolla, empanadas and for the sweet tooth delectable
Alfajores.
