The cocktail library

Classic drinks. Australian hands.

Eighteen launch drinks today, five hundred by year’s end. Every build is measured in millilitres, every garnish has a reason, every bottle swap we’ve actually tested is listed. No flair, no foam, no gastronomy.

Gin

Junipers, London drys and modern Australian gins. The backbone of a sharp drink.

Tequila and mezcal

Agave drinks, salted rims and Mexican pairings that actually work.

Rum

Light, dark and the in-between. Tropical without tipping into sickly.

Vodka

When the build wants the spirit to carry the other flavours, not fight them.

Whisky

Bourbon, rye, Australian single malt. Bitters and sugar not optional.

Aperitif and spritz

Low ABV, long glasses, afternoon drinks that ease you into dinner.

Our cocktail philosophy

One: the spec is the spec. If a Margarita wants 60 mls of tequila, it gets 60 mls, and we’ll tell you why. Two: Australian shelves first. Archie Rose, Four Pillars, Mr Black, Never Never, if an Aussie bottle fits the drink, it goes in. Three: every cocktail earns a pairing. A drink without a dish next to it is half a page.
