$18 Classic Cocktails at Stitch, Kasippu and Pocket Bar

Overview

House of Pocket — the group behind Stitch, Kasippu and Pocket Bar – is making a return to the classics, and you're invited along for the ride. You can now take your pick of one of 30 golden age cocktails for just $18 a pop.

On the list you'll find the Hemingway Daquiri (rum, maraschino, grapefruit, lime), the Mint Julep (bourbon, mint, syrup), the Bees Knees (gin, honey, lemon) and another 27 concoctions that all cocktail drinkers should know. If you haven't tried them all yet, this is an excellent opportunity to give some a go.

On top of celebrating the great mixology tradition, the House of Pocket folks are keen to make going out more affordable – any night of the week. "It would be great if pollies could level the playing field and give cocktail drinkers the same tax relief they gave beer drinkers," said owner Karl Schlothauer.

You'll find Stitch, which takes inspiration from the back streets of New York City, behind a tailor's shop front on York Street, while Kasippu brings a warm atmosphere and delicious Sri Lankan curries to Kent Street. Pocket Bar is by the waves in Terrigal on the Central Coast. All 30 cocktails are available at all three venues.
