El Greco's Enigma - A unique cocktail with Enigma flavoured EVOO by Aristotle's in Sydney
By Aristotle's restaurant, Sydney
Our Australian "cooking" road trip continues just in time for Valentine's Day, but with a modern alcoholic twist this time.
When Maria and her talented team at Aristotle's restaurant in Neutral Bay tried our flavoured extra virgin olive oil, Enigma, they knew that it was something unique and extraordinary. So, they let their creativity and imagination take over and create a magnificent cocktail, El Greco's Enigma!
A creamy, luscious and aromatic cocktail that has real depth of flavour that unfolds in different layers as you slowly sip it... The perfect aperitif to start and finish a gourmet degustation, and an ideal celebratory tipple for your special Valentine!
Aristotle's has kindly shared both of their cocktail recipe variations for all of us to make it at home, but if you prefer to have your cocktails made for you instead, just head over to Aristotle's at 24 Young Street in Neutral Bay, Sydney to sip on "El Greco's Enigma" and try some of the most delicious gourmet Greek dishes found in Australia!
