We’ve got a lot to celebrate, we’ve made it through 2020.
While you might not be feeling festive yet, your heart will grow three sizes after trying one of these top cocktails…available all from our region. Jump in the car and stay for a Christmas break up or New Year’s escape. We’re wishing you a very merry time and look forward to seeing you soon.
1.
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!
4.
Imagine sinking back into your chair overlooking the RACV Goldfields golf course with a ‘Lavandula Queen’. Relax and expect sweet lavender dreams.
5.
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.
7.
This ‘Berry Bramble’ from Sault Restaurant will put a spring in your step. Local gin, fresh berries, and tonic. Berry nice!
8.
Cliffy’s Emporium ‘Bloody Mary’ is a popular choice within their Boozy Brunch package. Think 1½ hours of free-flowing bottomless cocktails. Hail Mary!
9.
The Fook Shing ‘Daffodil’, a homage to Kyneton’s closeness to this lovely flower, mixes lime with lychee. Absolute genius.
