Sunshine, Sea Breeze… and a Little Sri Lankan Flair
Summer in Noosa is all about golden sunsets, sandy feet, and a good drink in hand. At RA Restaurant & Bar, we take the classic cocktail experience and give it a vibrant Sri Lankan makeover – bold spices, tropical fruits, and fresh herbs that instantly transport you to the island’s coast.
Whether you’re out for a night with friends or winding down after a day at the beach, these are the top 5 cocktails you need to try in Noosa this summer.
1. Kandy Lamissi – The Beauty of Kandy in a Glass
Sweet, tangy, and full of colour, this cocktail blends tropical fruit with a hint of spice. It’s perfect for anyone who loves a fruity cocktail that’s not overly sweet. Pair it with our prawn curry bites for a fresh-and-fiery balance.
2. Curry Leaf Mojito – A Garden-Fresh Take on a Classic
Our twist on the mojito swaps mint for fresh curry leaves, adding an earthy aroma that works beautifully with lime and rum. Best enjoyed with crispy hoppers or a seafood platter.
3. Aliya – The Strength of the Elephant
A bold mix of dark rum, ginger, and cinnamon, with just enough sweetness to keep it smooth. Perfect for cooler evenings on the deck, especially with a spicy lamb kottu.
4. Kasippu – The Local Legend
Inspired by Sri Lanka’s infamous local brew, this cocktail has a punchy kick, softened with tropical juices and a hint of lime. Try it with devilled chicken for a real party in your mouth.
5. Arrack & Pineapple Cooler – Island Chill in Every Sip
Smooth Sri Lankan arrack meets juicy pineapple for a drink that feels like a holiday in itself. Best with a grilled fish curry for that sweet-meets-savoury hit.
