Liquid Butter
Not long ago we were lucky enough to head along to Paris Butter to enjoy a delectable sample of their Liquid Butter range – which sees Mikey Ball and the team delivering a cocktail and food matching combination made in heaven.
Not long ago we were lucky enough to head along to Paris Butter to enjoy a delectable sample of their Liquid Butter range – which sees Mikey Ball and the team delivering a cocktail and food matching combination made in heaven. Paris Butter has long been acknowledged as a daring leader in the culinary game, and with their drinks menu they deliver even more excitement. The menu features cocktails made using a variety of unexpected ingredients – from potato to garlic (trust us, zero Vampire-vanquishing breath as a result) and persimmon, the flavours are sensational, smooth and luscious.
We happily worked our way through the persimmon-based Fu-yu Mungo, with malt, persimmon honey, creole, citrus oil and lacto, the potato-inspired Southie, with grape, grain, soured tatties, bitters and a petrified potato skin garnish, the sweet, black garlic-based Rickey Clover, with cane, flesh wine, citrus, bitters and elderflower and the Paris Butter “Bubbles” with gin, pulp syrup, grape juice and citrus oil. (These were perfectly-sized sample sized cocktails I should add!) Finally – as a non-alcoholic option we sipped on the Clover Mule, with Seedlip, East Imperial Ginger Beer, and creole.
To accompany our spectacular cocktail selection we grazed on assorted small plates, starting with the Paris Butter eggcup with potato velouté, soy emulsion and sourdough grissini), kumara sourdough & truffle butter, oysters, French nigiri and puffed rice paper with Kiwi onion dip.
Whether you have a special date night coming up or a larger celebration, we would highly recommend booking ahead, then heading to Jervois Road for a perfectly tailored, sophisticated adventure!

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
