With those breathtaking views across the river to the city, Stoke Bar at Stokehouse Q really doesn’t really need to over-complicate their cocktail menu, which is why the new Autumn-inspired lineup is heavy on flavour and light on fuss. Like Autumn (and the crisp weather it brings with it), it’s a fantastic change to welcome to Brisbane!
Titled The Autumn Eight, the new cocktails include In The Fall, Hello Autumn, Apple & Rye, Massif Torino, Poire Royal, Dutch Garden, Gin Fix and the Spanish G&T and celebrate the beautiful flavours and colours of Autumn in the city.
Instead of creating flashy garnishes and behind-the-bar flourishes, the team spent time infusing flavours, blending seasonal sweet fruits and working with warm liquors.
