Hop along to cocktail-fuelled high tea set in a whimsical Easter garden.

Overview
For a lot of people, the lead-up to Easter is a mammoth sweet treat eating session — hot cross buns and chocolate eggs every single day. And if treating yourself is high on the agenda this season, then Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney has two possible outlets — and they're both sugar-coated doozies.
From Monday, April 1, the Lobby Lounge will be transformed into a magical Easter garden and, inside you can enjoy a bevvy of themed delights. First up, there's an Easter-themed high tea, whipped up by executive pastry chef Anna Polyviou. As always, Polyviou has designed a delightfully whimsical and dessert-focused menu.
There's a cracked egg tart, decadent chocolate pots and the requisite hot cross buns, plus a club cake and some whippy ice cream to tail things off nicely. With all that sugar, you'll surely need a refreshment or two; try a vodka spritz (it's still warm enough outside) or the popcorn caramel martini — or play it traditional with a flute of bubbly. Tickets for this decadent feast starts from $75, with sessions running three times daily until Monday, April 29. To book your spot, head this way.
And if savoury snacks and a relaxed vibe are more your style, the Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney has you covered with Cocktails in the Garden. It's just what the label says: a tipple in the Easter 'garden', accompanied by a picnic basket filled with cured meats, cheese, olives, quiche and fresh fruit. The picnic set for two ($55) includes a spritz, flute of Chandon or popcorn caramel martini each. You can upgrade it with a flute of Veuve each instead ($85) or make the cocktails free-flowing for $115. This special cocktail package is available between Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 29 and can be booked here.
