Cocktail

OVERVIEW

Cocktail on this menu are inspired by memories, stories and not so much of a recipe, but a life style.

Focus here is on what’s in season and available locally. We reached to neighbouring suburbs of Pyrmont to source our spirits, rum from Surry Hills, gin and vodka from Marrickville, Rosebery and manly. Then looked further for purest from Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia and blended these with Australia’s native botanicals.
 

A sustainable approach is taken in Flying Fish bar at the Star to reduce waste and used every product with respect.

  
   
Kampai Pyrmont  

Cheers to Pyrmont – A life style of enjoying drinks all around Pyrmont, from drinking pints of cold beer at bars of this suburb, sake at Sokyo and then popping in to Flying Fish for a spread of seafood, cheers to summer. Junmai Gingo Sake infused with pineapple skin, sweet tropical pineapple juice topped with homemade yuzu-honey soda. 

  
Flight to Byron  
Luxury of flying to Byron on a private jet and being served a cocktail up in the clouds. Byron dry gin, maraschino umeshu and shiso will take you from Sydney to Byron in a few sips.
Accidentally in Coogee 
Do not drink and surf! When an unlucky Mexican bartender surfs in Bronte catches the wrong wave, ends up two beaches down in Coogee. Tequila sour with hint of curry and chilli, balanced with calamansi and agave, salud!
Bondi House Fizz
After a big night of partying in Bondi, Christmas day on the beach drinking a cool glass of tea, mixed with lemon myrtle vodka and butterfly tea. Medicinal and best way of recovery. 
Caribbean Tojo
Tojo the Caribbean monkey is picked up by a US army fighter plane and headed to WWII’s battlefronts, but they lost their way and ended up in Cork, Ireland. Tojo drinks rum at the pub and they never go to battle as the war is over. Tojo’s statue is there today in front of the pub where he is buried. Blend of Caribbean rum and Australian botanicals must be drunk in memory of brave Tojo.
Bondi Hipsters 
Inspired by a very long conversation between two bartenders, exchanging their quinoa recipes. Quinoa sochu, sweet pumpkin, Australian dry vermouth and citron verbena. By the time you finished a couple of these and getting ready to leave, the Bondi bartender is still bragging his quinoa recipe. 
Vegan Option
No animals were harmed making this cocktail – Elephant sloe gin with fresh carrot and Australian vermouth with fennel bitters, herbaceous and refreshing cocktail. Elephant gin not only creates premium gin with African botanicas, but also donates 15% to conservation of elephants in Africa, let’s drink to their cause.
Béhz-ness as usual
Béhz likes his Negronis, but he like everyone enjoying the drink as well. Delicious twist on the classic cocktail with Strawberry gin, Campari and Australian sweet vermouth. It is business as usual when Béhz has a his Negroni in his hand.

PETER ROBERTSON

Executive Chef 

As one of Australia’s leading chef talents, Peter Robertson brings decades of experience and a focus on fresh, seasonal produce to Flying Fish at The Star.

With six years of experience with Rockpool Group, Robertson credits his growth as a chef to working alongside esteemed Australian chef and restaurateur Neil Perry. Beginning in 2012 as Senior Sous Chef at Rockpool and Eleven Bridge, Robertson later took on the role of Head Chef at contemporary Cantonese restaurant Jade Temple.

Prior to his roles with Rockpool Group, Robertson was recognised as talent to watch by The Sydney Morning Herald’s Young Chef Dinner. That same year, Robertson took a break from the Australian culinary scene with roles abroad working with some of the world’s best chefs at Michelin-starred kitchens including Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck and Tom Aikens in the UK.

A passion for sustainability stemmed from his time with Kambolis Restaurant Group in Canada. Robertson was involved with local projects that raised awareness of eco-friendly agricultural practices and provided techniques to lower carbon footprints in hospitality venues.
