Situated at 129 Fitzroy Street St Kilda, Mockingbird is tucked within the marbled entrance of historic building, The George and indeed, it is a step back to 1920’s Paris with moody velvet curtains, trompe l’oeil walls, romantic soft lighting, wrought iron detailing and a big bay window to spy on the passing foot traffic.
George Lentzos, owner of Mockingbird, has kindly agreed to share a series of cocktail recipes for Onya Magazine readers. The first in the series is the Pimms Mockingbird Punch, designed especially for the upcoming Spring Racing Carnival.
