Radisson Blu Plaza Sydney has partnered with award-winning Sydney distillery Archie Rose Distilling Co to create a new High Tea with a twist. Departing from the traditional High Tea model, which pairs teas with delicacies, The Distiller’s High Tea focuses on matching the distinct flavour notes of each spirit with an array of gourmet food offerings.
The Distillers High Tea includes three of Archie Rose’s spirits range: Original Vodka, Signature Dry Gin and White Rye. The Original Vodka is accompanied by a sweet paprika, spinach and feta roll, juniper infused smoked salmon on toast, and a citrus tart. The Signature Dry Gin is paired with slow-cooked veal pie, cucumber, dill and cream cheese sandwich, and a strawberry tart. The White Rye is matched with a chicken curry puff, a spiced cake, and a Belgian double chocolate slice.
Guests are also able to try Radisson Blu’s very own gin, called Out of the Blu, which has been specially blended at the Archie Rose distillery. It was produced with five botanicals that blend Australian natives with traditional flavours used in dry gins, including lemon myrtle, blood lime, and river mint from Western Australia.
“We are delighted to be able to offer our guests something truly unique – a new blend of gin that we have created just for them and the Distiller’s High Tea – showcasing spirits from Sydney’s most up-and-coming distillery,” says Radisson Blu’s general manager Peter Tudehope.
The new Distiller’s High Tea is available in the hotel’s Fax Bar until December 31, 2016. It is priced from AU$69 (US$51) per person. www.radissonblu.com
