We stepped out recently to catch up with friends in the City and visited a couple of fantastic bars along the way. We're so lucky we live in an age where meeting friends for a few drinks doesn't have to involve your shoes sticking to the carpet and the smell of those little blue blocks in the urinals. (Even us females know that smell, it permeates everything!) That Melbourne is full of funky little bars isn't ground breaking.news but the choice and quality of the cocktail and wine lists was mind boggling. Strongly recommend the Tokyo Drifter from THE AVIARY - a blend of plum wine, sake & lemon. Also the Summer Sangria by the jug, a more economical way to enjoy the evening. Can't quite remember what was in it but there was definitely Vodka, wine & lychee liquor. 
Also loved TRUNK in Exhibition Street. Their Zombie, a mix of dark and white rum, pineapple, apple and passionfruit juices was to die for. And then arise and come back from the dead, eat people, die, arise from the dead etc etc etc. What was also mind boggling was the array of new spirits and liqueurs on the market. There is nothing you can't get these days. Pomegranate, Coca Leaf, Passionfruit, Champagne liqueurs - the list is endless.My favourite would have to be Hypnotic Harmony - French vodka, cognac and berries. It'a a lovely purple colour reminiscent of Parfait Amour but there's nothing 70ish about the Harmony. With this in mind we're featuring our Cocktail Tee this week Great for professional Mixologists or enthusiastic home bartenders. Wear one when you host your next party.
Cheers,
