Monkey Mixer

Overview

While Brisbane's bars are still kicking into gear post-lockdowns, Monkey Shoulder is bringing cocktails to the streets. The scotch brand has created Australia's biggest cocktail mixer truck called Monkey Mixer — which looks a little like a cement mixer truck, but shiny — and is delivering $1 cocktails to homes across the city.

The giant orange and silver truck will hit the road from Thursday, August 13, and will roll around Brisbane until Saturday, August 15. It'll park itself at a different bar for a day at a time, starting at Death and Taxes in the CBD on August 13, moving on to West End's Cobbler on August 14, then finishing at Byblos Bar in the Hamilton on August 15. Each bar is able to supply $1 cocktails to the surrounding suburbs during its stint with the truck.

On the menu: The Espresso Monkey, a scotch-spiked take on the espresso martini; and a boulevardier, which is made with Campari, sweet vermouth and Monkey Shoulder; and a 'lazy old fashioned'.

To get your hands on a $1 cocktail, you'll need to head to the partner venue's website.
