The Pearl

Cool down and refresh with a Bloody Big Bloody Mary from The Pearl. Control your spice and opt for spice on the side or choose the heat and enjoy plenty of Tabasco mixed throughout.

Highball  

With Highball’s reopening comes exciting new cocktail additions, including a very fun daiquiri tree. Featuring twelve branches, twelve cocktails and your choice of daiquiris, gather your girlfriends and sample their signature daiquiri range.

Corella Bar

Get a fresh taste of summer with Corella Bar’s Sandía cocktail. Made with saltbush Don Julio Blanco, Verde Mezcal, watermelon agar agar, passionfruit, iron wood and fresh lime, it has a wonderfully refreshing range of native flavours and fresh fruit.

Loquita

Nothing says summer quite like a margarita. At Loquita, it’s all about tequila – shaking a huge list of flavoured margaritas, from the famous Tommy’s to a pina colada-inspired marg, toffee flavoured and frozen!

Inka

INKA’s iconic Shigatsu no Ame cocktail is the perfect drink for summer! Join them at the bar or in the restaurant and taste a blend of Japanese flavours like nashi pear with South American spirits like pisco.

Leyla Bar

Feel the afternoon breeze in the Burbury Hotel’s rooftop bar Leyla. While the summer vibes are always on, the Jazz Gala cocktail has a particular tangy, fresh and summery flavour. Made with Hendricks Midsummer Solstice, elderflower, apple liquor, apple juice, cranberry juice and lemon juice, feel in total holiday bliss.

Amici Wine Bar & Deli

Summer it up spritz style! Amici knows an Italian spritz just hits differently, so they are bringing you a little slice of the Amalfi Coast. Whether it’s a boozy brunch or afternoon cocktails, cool down with a refreshing spritz!

Midnight Bar

Afternoon cocktails at Midnight Bar on the outdoor lounges is always a good idea. The perfect cocktail for summer, try the Emerald Isle. Made with Tanqueray gin, Chartreuse Green, Dry Vermouth, cucumber, lime juice and house-made mint syrup, it’s herbaceous, zesty and the perfect palette cleanser.

The Alby

Filled with ice and packed with tangy flavour, The Alby’s Orange Fever cocktail is sure to do the trick. Made with Four Pillars Shiraz Gin, blood oranges, fresh lime, mint and sugar, topped with Fever Tree Tonic Water, need we say more?

The Inn

Next time you’re at The Inn this summer, make sure you try The Northside. Made with Underground Spirits gin, rosemary syrup, lime and mint leaves, it’s super tasty, refreshing, and by the end will have you ordering another.
