Drinks List of the Year: Cote Basque

The Sydney Morning Herald highlighted the new Spanish-leaning grill called Cote Basque, which recently opened in Sydney by the Trader House Group. The restaurant offers an extensive drinks menu that caters to various preferences, from casual dining to sophisticated wine tasting. Guests can start with light options like manzanilla or vermouth and progress to more robust selections such as Rioja and Burgundy wines. For those seeking less expensive choices, bottles priced between $70 and $80 are available, alongside thoughtful non-alcoholic alternatives. The list also includes unique spirits like Basque liqueur Izarra and cocktails like the Shakerato of Braulio, making it appealing for both casual drop-ins and committed diners alike.
