Overview

One of Australia's best bars is taking a trip to one of Australia's best hotels this winter, as The Calile welcomes the crew from Sydney agave den Cantina OK! for one night only. It's part of The Calile's Rooftop Harvest series, which invites figures from the hospitality world around Australia to create dishes and drinks using ingredients from the hotel's rooftop garden.

Behind the stick will be Cantina OK! Venue Manager Jordan Grocock and Creative Lead Jaxon Kite, who'll be shaking up a bespoke cocktail inspired by the pastel tones of The Calile's pool. The Sandia OK! is a vibrant green and pink margarita in which fresh lime and hibiscus leaf harvested from the hotel's rooftop garden are mixed with makrut lime leaf tequila and topped with shaved watermelon for a textural and visual punch.

Alongside them, The Calile crew will be serving one of its signature creations. The Marigold Highball is a twist on the classic highball, with a mix of Red Mill coconut rum, soda, coconut vinegar and a house-made shrub crafted using marigold leaves picked from the rooftop garden. Both drinks will be paired with seasonal snacks that also showcase ingredients from the June harvest.

Entry is free but registration is recommended — don't miss your chance to experience one of Sydney's most celebrated bars, no flight required.
