A trio of sparkling punch bowl cocktails make their debut this spring ($29). Designed to share, each fresh fruit and fizz-filled punch bowl is served with a mini ladle and glassware to fill.
- Gin Berry Bliss delivers a splash of spring with a blitz of fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, gin and the fizzy lift of Prosecco.
- Tropical Escape is a seasonal boost of fresh pineapple, mango and passionfruit with a bubbly base of Prosecco and white rum.
- Watermelon Rosé is an aromatic fusion of fresh watermelon, grapefruit and mint with delicate rosé wine, a kick of vodka, and a sparkle of Prosecco.
A collection of Fratelli’s eight best-selling spritzes is also available throughout spring, including Coco Loco, It Takes Two to Mango, Peach Time and Passion Blogger ($16 each).
Fratelli Fresh Culinary Director Gabor Denes said: “Our springtime dishes are a celebration of sensational seafood, the seasonal harvest, aromatic herbs, and light flavours.
“Paired with our fruit-packed, fizzy punch bowls, the menu is a great way for friends and family to enjoy a sunny get-together as the weather warms up.”
Children aged 12 and under can eat for free from the Fratelli Fresh Kids’ Menu daily, when accompanied by a paying adult.
