River Mint & Cola

Lee Potter Cavanagh is the owner of Bondi bar and restaurant, Rosenbaum & Fuller.

Rosenbaum & Fuller is the name of Potter Cavanagh’s new bar, and it’s located just a short stroll from the sands of Bondi Beach. Native ingredients are at the heart of what Potter Cavanagh wants to do at Rosenbaum & Fuller. It starts with the cocktail list: they’ve dispensed with cocktail names, instead calling out the prominent flavours of the drink, such as with this one here.

The River Mint & Cola does what it says on the tin — it’s like a drier, more complex Fernet & Cola; Potter Cavanagh’s drink does away with the cloying sweetness, and the introduction of 30ml of fresh espresso gives it a kick of caffeine to keep you kicking on. The end result? It’s one tall glass of deliciousness.

Take a look at the recipe below.
