A mainstay in Melbourne’s small bar scene, Bar Americano knows how to shake up a mean drink. Usually, you’d nab a spot at the ten-seat bar, but these are not usual times. Instead, while its doors are shut, Bar Americano is offering daily delivery on a range of its bottled cocktails.  On the menu you’ll find an americano (of course), a manhattan-inspired concoction, the bar’s house amaro, an old fashioned and a negroni — a go-to in these times. Both 200 and 500-millilitre serves are available for most. You can check out the full Hometender menu here.

As always, The Everleigh is delivering freshly shaken and batched cocktails to your door.

Try a bunch at once, with the Famous Four Set ($69), stocked with one of each of the headliners, or your own mix-and-match preference. A range of newer spritzed cocktails is also on offer, featuring the likes of a French 75, the tequila-infused Palomita and a fizzy americano number. Order a single-serve bottle ($13), or nab yourself a four-pack ($44). Shipping is available to most locations across Australia and, as a special lockdown treat, there’s currently 20 percent off storewide.

This Port Melbourne distillery has released a new line of dapper, bottled whisky cocktails, putting a local spin on three classic sips. Choose from the coffee old fashioned crafted on Mr Black and house-made orange bitters, or a big, bold whisky-infused negroni. Or perhaps the award-winning new-world twist on the traditional old fashioned cocktail, starring single-malt whisky that’s been aged in red wine barrels. Each drink comes by the half-litre bottle ($49), which pours out about 10 serves. Best of all, these beauties are shipping Australia-wide.
