Vivid-inspired cocktails, sundaes and fire twirlers.

Overview
Just when you thought Vivid Sydney couldn't deal out any more sensory overload, the festive folks at Cockle Bay Wharf reveal their triple-threat master plan: cocktails, chocolate and live performers.
To start, their cleverest mixologists have come up with Vivid-themed cocktails to match the bright lights of the festival. So, while you're getting lost in all the mesmerising views, you can sip on a Boogie Wonderland (bitters, elderflower and sparkling wine), a Huntress (in house barrel-aged Ketel One vodka, Cointreau and cranberry juice) or a Lemon Teardrop (limoncello, vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice and sugar syrup), at $15 a pop.
Secondly, local dessert chefs have concocted a Vivid sundae, packed with ooey gooey Lindt chocolate. Scoops of vanilla and white chocolate ice cream are embedded with brownie chunks, covered in chocolate sauce and topped with Chantilly cream and sprinkled with chocolate shavings. Oof. This masterpiece is $10 and arrives in an illuminated resin glass, which you get to take home.
And last (but definitely not least) every Thursday to Sunday, troupes of live, LED-powered performers will converge for stilt walking, juggling and fire twirling. Among them, you'll see acts Space Ballerina, Light Fantastique and Birds of Paradise.
Venues participating in Cockle Bay Wharf's Vivid celebrations include meat masters Hunter & Barrel, Blackbird Cafe, Baia The Italian, I'm Angus, Adria, Nick's Seafood, Tokio Hotel Live, Pontoon and Home The Venue.
