Chippendale's Gin Lane Has Launched a New Range of Gin-Infused Soft Serves for Summer
The boozy, frozen treats include ones topped with popping candy and hundreds and thousands.
To help Sydneysiders keep cool this summer, the team at Gin Lane has blended boozy, grown-up flavours with a tidy hit of nostalgia for its new line of cocktail-inspired 'soft serves'.
Teaming up with Australia's own soft serve and gelato expert David Lopresti of Aussie frozen treats specialist Florentia, Gin Lane founder and bartender Grant Collins has created three new treats guaranteed to get a serious workout during the warmer months.
On the lineup, you'll find a riff on the Knickerbocker Glory made with a gin, tonic and lemon aspen soft serve, gin-macerated fruit and wafers; the citrusy Gin Fizz with cider, candied apple and popping candy; and the Rosella Sling, which combines rosella purée, mint, candied orange and hundreds and thousands.
All of the frozen newcomers will be on rotation at the Chippendale gin bar over summer, all crafted on cold-pressed juices with fun garnishes and hefty infusions of alcohol.
Alongside the frozen treats are some limited-edition cocktails, too. These include a refreshing watermelon G&T and an extravagant concoction called Up with rose petal syrup, gin, cold-pressed lemon oil, chartreuse and tonic served in a bucket with a scented helium balloon. It'll set you back $38, but it's made to be shared between two.
Gin Lane's Soft Serve Bar is located at 16A Kensington Street, Chippendale and will open throughout summer from Monday–Wednesday 4–6pm and Thursday–Saturday 2–5pm. The soft serves are available in cups ($9) or in classic waffle cones ($12).
