Monkey Mixer

Overview

While Sydney's bars are empty, 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 free cocktails to homes across the city.

The giant orange and silver truck will hit the road in time for World Cocktail Day on Wednesday, May 13, and will roll around Sydney until Sunday, June 7. It'll park itself at a different bar for five days at a time, starting at The Roosevelt in Potts Point (May 13–17), moving on to Paddington's The Unicorn (May 20–24), then Donny's Bar in Manly (May 27–31) and finishing at the award-winning Maybe Sammy in the CBD (June 3–7). Each bar is able to supply free 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.

To get your hands on a free cocktail, you'll need to head to the partner venue's website on the week the Monkey Mixer is there and enter the code #madeformixing.
