Each cocktail is inspired by a different fabric.
Cocktail bar The Tailor Room in Sydney’s newest dining precinct The Collective has an interesting way of helping you decide on a drink.
Instead of names or ingredients, cocktails are made-to-measure from a selection of material swatches. There’s wool, corduroy, velvet, cotton, denim and more with each drink designed to mirror the qualities of each cloth.
Order Silk for a smooth blend of gin with coconut and rose geranium or for something a little more textured, Corduroy is made from warming whisky layered with honey and spice.
Housed in a former cloakroom, the tiny 20-seat venue uses plenty of beautiful materials itself, from its two green velvet banquettes to its striking red marble bar.
The bar serves salty snacks including house-made potato chips with smoked salt and vinegar whiskey, but there’s more substantial eats in The Dining Room next door.
