Zeta Bar- Cryogenic Sorbet & Cocktail Bar

1 February 2010, 01:29

I was invited to the launch of Australia’s first ever Cryogenic Sorbet and Cocktail Bar at Zeta bar, Hilton Sydney along with Helen, Minh, Simon and Zina. As soon as i heard the word cryogenic i knew someone would be playing with liquid nitrogen…


Whee! Big puffs of smoke! People will be able to order from a list of their favourite cocktails, choosing whether they want it served in a cone, cup or even as a nitro puff.


First cocktails of the night is the Negroni


The staff are decked out in 50’s ice cream parlour awesomeness


Canapes start arriving so we don’t get too tipsy tasting all the cocktails bwahahaaha loved the pesto + tomato + mozza spoons


Creamy mushroom tarts were so much win


Pina Coladas


The ice cream boy serves up some cocktails as tasty sorbets ($4/cone, $6/cup)


I really like paper umbrellas


Pate on baguette slices


Sausages


Mini burgahs!


Spiced Black Raspberry Mule- loved this! Nice and sweet and lol very easy to drink :D


Ice block boy bearing icy treats


Champagne ice blocks ($5)


Food bloggers love a good show


The Cryogenic Sorbet & Cocktail Bar is available from the Terrace Bar every Friday night until the end of March.

14. Look awesome, but which one is nitrogenic drink or nitro puff drink? I guess they will not mixed the dry ice with water as I heard it’s dangerous, rite?

23. This was a fun concept as well as an interesting function. Perfect for the warm days of Summer & perhaps even a few of Autumn if it carries over that far.
