Artini Series 1 Launch @ Circa

Gastrology bloggers attended the launch of Circa’s Artini series last night. The event was a treat for all the senses.

Guests indulged in cocktails from award winning mixologist Naren Young, tasted canapés designed by chefs Stephen Burke and Jake Nicolson and enjoyed art by Misha Hollenbach from Utopian Slumps. 

The Naren Young cocktails that were served included an Upside Down Dirty Gibson (Dry vermouth, Tanqueray 10, onion brine, lemon bitters and pickled onion) and Vesper Rose (Vodka, Rose vermouth, Peychaud's bitters and rosewater). Both were skilfully composed.

As expected from an event catered by Circa, the canapés were simply stunning - highlights included the crispy soft shell crab bao with kimchi slaw and robata grilled octopus yakitori with black garlic and miso.
