Laura Veal Presents Her Signature Cocktail List

Laura Veal Presents Her Winter Cocktail List At The Botanist.

This May we launched our new cocktail menu, designed by our cocktail expert, Assistant General Manager, Laura Veal.

Laura is a long-time Applejack legend. Starting her hospitality career at SoCal Neutral Bay as a bartender, Laura then made the move to The Botanist, working her way up to Bar Manager and now Assistant General Manager. Laura’s love and passion for cocktails at The Botanist has seen her create our latest signature cocktail list for the restaurant.

From spicy margaritas and rosemary negronis to a sustainable odd bunch spritz; there’s something for everyone! Plus you may spot some old Botanist favourites we just couldn’t replace, check out some of Laura’s favourites below and make sure to join us at the bar for a drink or two.
