Lumia Shrub cocktails



Lumia Shrub cocktails





The West End at Crown is an experience like no other in Melbourne.

Combining the perfect mix of places to dine, bars, gaming and live entertainment, it's the new destination in the heart of the city.

With so much to discover, where do you begin?

With a Lumia Shrub cocktail of course!!

My favourite is the Cherry Martini, because of its devine flavour, its a perfect start to any evening!
Ingredients include- Plymouth Gin shaken with juniper and cherry shrub, sweet vermouth and topped with Angostura Bitters.



SHRUB COCKTAILS

Devised in the late 18th Century, Shrub was a technique used to preserve summer berries and fruits for consumption year round. Now, in the 21st Century, Lumia have taken Shrub and mixed it with modern spirits to produce cocktails which are, well, a little bit glamorous.
