Cocktail Hour in Melbourne
We've teamed up with Maker's Mark to bring you a guide to making the best of cocktail hour, at home or out and about.
Sometimes it’s the simplest pleasures we’re drawn to most. The feel of sunshine on our skin as we’re settling into a long lunch in a sunlit courtyard; sipping a well-made drink with our favourite buddies; or treating ourselves to an early mark for happy hour after a long week. And, when 5pm rolls around, no one wants to be second-guessing where to go for a good time.
To help you make the most of cocktail hour, we’ve partnered with Maker’s Mark, the small-batch bourbon whiskey from Kentucky, to bring you a guide to Melbourne’s pubs and restaurants for weekend catch-ups and late-night cocktail dens for kick-ons after a night at the cinema or theatre. We’ve also enlisted the help of talented bartender Ciaran Duffy from 1806 to show us how to make a mint julep at home. Whip one up at your next get-together.
