The Melbourne Mixtape Is a New Cocktail Box Showcasing Some of the City's Best Bars

We all know Melbourne boasts a world-class bar scene with skilled bartenders shaking up the cocktail game at top-notch venues all across town. Granted, weeks into lockdown 2.0, that's all starting to feel like a distant memory. But, if you're thirsting hard for boozy times past, you can now give yourself a quick refresher course, by way of a new at-home cocktail pack featuring an all-star Melbourne lineup.

The folks at The Everleigh Bottling Co have joined forces with some of the city's finest drinking institutions to create the liquid care package of your lockdown dreams. Aptly dubbed the Melbourne Mixtape, it's a lineup of seven bottled cocktails, each handmade in-house at their respective bar while the doors are closed to the public.

In this lineup of libations, you'll find such hits as Byrdi's wattleseed negroni, the tiramisu milk punch from Capitano, Mjølner's rum-infused Battle Axe, a tequila blend known as The Proposition from Collingwood's Above Board, a Black Pearl Shower Martini, and a classic americano courtesy of Bar Americano. Of course, there's an Everleigh creation in there, too: the caffeine-spiked sip they call Coffee House.

Each of the single-serve cocktails comes with specific serving instructions, ready to chill, pour and devour. What's more, you can have the pack sent directly to your home, with nationwide shipping available for $14.99. All proceeds go back to the participating bars, which will help raise some much-needed funds while restrictions continue.

The Melbourne Mixtape is available to buy for $130 from The Everleigh Bottling Co website.
