Warm cockles
Some picks of the season, to warm your heart and soul
SNOOP’S FAV
Tucked into Little High’s new event space is Boom Boom Chicken (BBC). On top of some of the city’s most succulent chook, they have a top-notch cocktail range. Pictured is the Gin n Juice, a refreshing yet suitably seasonal mix of gin, lemon, apple, honey, and rosemary. Best served with a chicken sando or a tray of crispy, fried wings.
CHERRY BABY
Rose Rabbit Cherry, from Cardrona Distillery, is a liqueur that has matured for 10 months in five American oak barrels to make it a rich, rounded spirit. It’s deeply cherry flavoured and complemented by vanilla and coconut. With sweetness at the front, the oak adds depth to the mid-palate and finish, with notes of currant and milk chocolate.
COSY CARAMEL
The Winter Warmers are back at the Pink Lady Rooftop! Cosy cocktails that taste best wrapped in a blanket or in front of a heater. Take this Jersey Caramel vodka and Amarula liqueur cocktail, for example – it is perfectly creamy, silky smooth, and overly yummy. This is the perfect cure to your winter blues!
SEASONAL DELIGHTS
The Christchurch Tramway Restaurant’s winter menu has been going down a treat with plenty of delicious, warming options perfect for the cooler season. The Canterbury lamb shank served with garlic truffled mash, seasonal greens, cranberries, and lamb glaze has been the pick of the menu for guests so far. Gluten and dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are also available throughout the curated menu.
