Bar Albert’s enticing new cocktail menu

Perched high above the city centre, Auckland’s premier luxury bar destination Bar Albert has a new summer offering.

Already the summit of sophistication with world-class drinks, sky-high glamour and the best views over Tāmaki Makaurau, the sophisticated speakeasy-inspired bar has unveiled a tantalizing new cocktail menu, whisky tastings and new Sunset Sessions, making it the place to be for the season ahead.

Bringing an international flair to the crafting of the bar’s exceptional drinks, master mixologist and Bar Manager Johan Cabrera - with an extensive bar background both here and in France - says the new menu is a fusion of local and global flavours, with a focus on independent small batch producers and locally sourced, fresh ingredients.

Chocolate Love A-Fair

The wait is over for Ben & Jerry’s and Tony’s Chocolonely lovers as an indulgent new collab hits Kiwi shelves just in time for summer.

In a match made in changemaker heaven, ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s has joined forces with Tony’s Chocolonely, the chocolate-making impact company, in its mission to end modern slavery and child labour in the chocolate industry.

Hitting chillers in New Zealand from mid-October is Ben & Jerry’s Chocolatey Love A-Fair, a decadent new ice cream based on Tony’s milk chocolate caramel sea salt, and featuring chocolatey ice cream full of salted caramel swirls, caramel chunks and sea salt fudge chunks.

Also set to tickle those tastebuds are two new Tony’s bars inspired by Ben & Jerry’s fan favourites: Dark Milk Brownie, a moreish combination of dark milk chocolate and brownie pieces; and White Strawberry Cheesecake, with white cheesecake-style chocolate, sticky strawberries and crumbly cookie pieces.
