There are some things that feel unmistakably Australian. Sunshine. Eucalyptus. The smell of the bush after rain, and of course, the brilliant yellow explosion of wattle in late winter into early spring.

This month’s Art & Cocktail pairing takes us into the wild, windswept feeling of winter – with a Gin Bramble inspired by two very different works of art.

This month’s cocktail is a Mocha Martini.
It’s a classic reimagined with a modern twist. Rich coffee and choc-orange create a familiar foundation, while subtle spice and balance give it a depth that invites you to slow down and savour it. Comforting yet sophisticated, it’s a cocktail that feels equally at home as an after-dinner indulgence or a quiet nightcap.

Our Hot Toddy begins with the flavours of the season’s final harvest. Apples bring gentle sweetness and brightness, while notes reminiscent of Christmas fruit cake offer richness and nostalgia. Honey softens the edges, and cinnamon, star anise, and cardamom provide warmth that lingers long after the last sip.

This cocktail begins with our Honey Gin – soft, floral, and gently sweet – layered with the delicate tannins of Darjeeling tea. Pink grapefruit soda brings lift and brightness, finishing with a light fizz that makes the whole drink feel effortless and refreshing. A slice of lemon adds just enough sharpness to keep everything in balance.

The All Grown Up Choccy Milk is a playful reimagining of something deeply familiar. Built around our Choc Orange Liqueur, it blends milk, ice cream, and chocolate into something rich, soft, and unmistakably nostalgic. Finished with a scattering of Coco Pops, it sits somewhere between childhood treat and indulgent nightcap – a small moment of awe in an everyday glass.
