Das Kaffeehaus ‘Fiaker’ is named after the famous horse-and-carriages in Vienna. It’s a strong black Coffee Basics brew, with a rum shot and mandatory cherry on the top.
2.
Big Tree Gin ‘Ruby’s Spring’ cocktail will make you feel like you’re already on holidays. The secret ingredient…Ruby’s Elderflower Gin Liqueur!
3.
Palais-Hepburn ‘Pornstar’ has a sharp passionfruit punch and is served with a shot of prosecco. It’s a big hit!

Imagine sinking back into your chair overlooking the RACV Goldfields golf course with a ‘Lavandula Queen’. Relax and expect sweet lavender dreams.

Introducing Bistro Terroir ‘Comme d’hab’ which translates to ‘same as usual’. When you’ve had one, it’s likely to become a regular thing.
6.
‘The Scarlet Night’ is the latest creation from Animus Distillery featuring their Macedon Dry and Davidsonia gin. Pretty and deadly.
