Celebrate your local cocktails and bars from 1 – 31 May with the launch of Australian Cocktail Month.
This year the month will be bigger than ever, held across eight states and territories, and 12 cities including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sydney and Wollongong, all of which will join Australian Cocktail Month in partnering with some of the best local and international alcohol brands to champion the country’s bar industry.
There will be 6 venues in Hobart: Aura, Evolve, La Sardina Loca, Mary Mary, The Den and Rude Boy.
Founded by industry figure Penny Sippe, Australian Cocktail Month aims to provide assistance to the hospitality industry by driving people into bars as they rebuild following the pandemic.
The $20 ticket, which is now available online, allows guests access to a special menu of $14 cocktails created exclusively for the month where consumers can escape the day to day and enjoy delicious cocktails.
The month will feature a range of international brands such as Stambecco Amaro, Rumbullion!, and Glenfiddich Whisky as well as a multitude of local brands including Legal Rogue Vermouth, West Winds Cutlass Gin, and Starward Two Fold Whisky.
Recognising that the desire for low or no alcohol options is continuing to grow, Australian Cocktail Month has non-alcoholic options for $10. Fever-Tree, a premium mixer; and Lyres, a range of hand-crafted non-alcoholic spirits together with bartender creativity allow consumers avoiding alcohol to partake without compromising on what makes Australian bars great: the cocktail experience (and loads of flavour).
“I am so excited for another year of Australian Cocktail Month,” said Sippe. “Year two and we have more cities and double the bars involved. Encouraging consumers to head out and explore the bars that make our cities so vibrant whilst enjoying amazing cocktails created by some of the country’s best bartenders is our goal.”
A ticket to Australian Cocktail Month can be used at any participating venue throughout May, and is available for purchase now here.
