Darling X Meadowlark

Find out about the one-of-a-kind cocktail, The Cherub

To celebrate Darling on Drake‘s first birthday, the iconic Auckland rooftop bar has partnered with New Zealand jewellery brand Meadowlark for a chic and whimsical collaboration that perfectly blends fashion and indulgence. The collaboration introduces a limited-edition capsule collection of jewellery inspired by Darling’s unique style and the Meadowlark Cherub charm, which has already become a symbolic fixture at the beloved venue.

This collaboration feels destined, with an accidental synergy between the two brands making the partnership all the more natural. Earlier this year, Darling adopted Meadowlark’s Cherub charm as a playful motif, which has resonated with its loyal patrons. Now, Meadowlark has drawn further inspiration from the bar’s vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere to craft six exclusive pieces of jewellery, including necklaces and rings. The collection embodies the bar’s charm and allure while reflecting Meadowlark’s signature modern edge.

To mark the launch of the collection, Darling has also created a one-of-a-kind cocktail, The Cherub, which will debut at the bar’s First Birthday celebration on Friday, December 13th. A tantalizing mix of Peddlers salted plum gin, honey, fresh grape, and lemon, the cocktail is shaken and served over a large ice cube that contains a Meadowlark Cherub charm encased inside. Luxurious and exclusive, The Cherub will be priced at $200, making it a statement experience that combines exceptional craftsmanship and a dash of playful extravagance.

The First Birthday celebration is open to the public from 6 pm, the event will toast a year of Darling’s success as one of Auckland’s favourite rooftop spots. Guests can enjoy The Cherub cocktail while browsing the jewellery collection, which will be available for purchase for a limited time. It’s the perfect opportunity for fans of Meadowlark and Darling to celebrate this fusion of fashion and mixology, and perhaps leave with both a charm and a cocktail memory to cherish.

Whether it’s the allure of the jewellery or the temptation of the cocktail, this collaboration captures the essence of both brands: stylish, bold, and irresistible. With the jewellery and cocktail only available for a short time, this unique partnership offers an unmissable way to mark a milestone for Darling on Drake while showcasing the creative flair of Meadowlark. Don’t miss the chance to sip and sparkle at this extraordinary birthday celebration.
