As Sydney settles into autumn, Bar Manager Alessandro invites you to experience the seasonal cocktail menu at CATALINA.
“The idea behind this menu was to bring in slightly richer, warmer flavours for the season, while still keeping everything fresh and easy to drink. The whole bar team contributed to the cocktail list, working together to create something balanced and considered.”
Three cocktails in particular have quickly become favourites from the bar.
Ruby’s Kiss
A mix of floral, tart and lightly smoky flavours, with grapefruit and lime bringing freshness, while tea and rhubarb add depth.
Cuba 23
More spirit-forward and bold, with caramel and oak from the rum, layered with a gentle smokiness from the mezcal.
Belvedere N°5
A smoother, slightly indulgent cocktail with tropical notes of pineapple and vanilla, balanced with citrus for a clean finish.
Our autumn cocktails are designed to be enjoyed alongside our seasonal menu, or on their own at the bar, with walk-ins always welcome on the terrace bar.

Autumn, captured in a single plate.
Delicate butternut pumpkin and ricotta tortellini, gently folded and finished with a sage beurre noisette that coats each piece in warm, nutty richness. Toasted pine nuts bring a subtle crunch, while crisp shards of kumera add texture and a touch of sweetness throughout.
