What to Drink
Cocktails at the Roosevelt
With party season here, Bloody Mary‘s are the go. Check out the Panama Mary, Panama House‘s alternative made with Stolen Rum. Keep an eye out for The Roosevelt in Potts Point new cocktail list. We had a preview taste and some of the drinks are world class. And with summer finally gracing our shores, icy cold Ninki Ichi Kuro-ninki Junmaiginjo sake with oysters and sashimi from the Sydney Fish Market are the go on long hot days and night. Kampai!
I’m so jealous about that Mexican restuarant… it’s been impossible to get good Mexican food in the south of France. I went to Oaxaca many (many!) years ago and fell in love with the food, what flavors!
