Come and enjoy Chartreuse cocktail specials @ The Laneway

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Hi everyone!

We have a new cocktail list on the way for The Euro and we have some specials on Chartreuse Cocktails in The Laneway bar at the moment.

One in particular is the Velvet Blush, which is Pez’s entry for the Chartreuse Chevaliers Competition. It includes Yellow Chartreuse, white cacao, grapefruit juice and Chartreuse Elixir and is shaken and served straight up in a Cointreau rinsed martini glass with a cracked pepper garnish. It’s pretty awesome!

Also available are Chartreuse Mojitos using Yellow or Green Chartreuse, Chartreuse served frappe (on crushed ice) or a cocktail called the ‘Last Word’ which is Green Chartreuse with maraschino liqueur, gin and lime juice.

Come in and try one out!

Cheers,
The Laneway Team

Gin Appreciation Night @ The Laneway

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Hi all,

Four Roses Single Barrel is now on the back bar – I recommend trying it in a Boulevardier Cocktail with Campari and Sweet Vermouth!

We also have a Gin Appreciation Evening coming up on October 5th from 6.30pm – 8.30pm (approx finish) at a cost of $60pp.

Participants will enjoy an aperitif on arrival; a demonstration and tasting of three different techniques used to make three classic martini style cocktails based on Tanqueray Gin; a brief discussion on types of gin (old world and new world) with Tanqueray #10 and tonic; and some tasty bar snacks.

Bookings are essential so phone 07 3229 3686 or email reservation@urbanerestaurant.c​om.

Cheers,
The Laneway Team
