Let’s drink to that, p88

In the spirit of celebration, Andrew McConnell has created a menu of elegant share plates with cocktails to match, all inspired by his glamorous new Melbourne venue, Gimlet at Cavendish House. “The sweet spot for matching food with cocktails is restraint,” says McConnell. “I like flavours that make you stop and think; that get your attention without screaming ‘look at me!’.” It’s a delicious and sophisticated affair.
