Mother's Day High Tea: Done A Little Different

Overview

Want to surprise mum this Mother's Day? And does she love sweet treats? How about a spot of gin in her tea? Well, that's exactly what this boozy take on a celebratory high tea is offering up.

Unexpected Guest Distillery is teaming up with local favourite Bourke Street Bakery to curate a new take on high tea to spoil all the ladies of the hour. Hosted at its flagship distillery in Marrickville, the high tea will take place from 12pm on Sunday, May 12.

At this unconventional high tea, expect to find teas that have been transformed into gin cocktails, which are then served in vibrant teapots.

As for bites, you'll be able to pair your sips with baked goods from the Bourke Street Bakery crew — both sweet and savoury — instead of the classic finger sandwiches and macarons. Take your pick from three types of sliders, including shredded chicken paired with perinaise sauce and cabbage slaw, along with three variations of flaky pastries, with the indulgent chocolate ganache tart leading the lineup.

For $79, you'll receive a welcome drink, three cocktails, three sliders and three baked treats. Bookings start from 12pm and can be made at the website.
