Australian Cocktail Month, the month-long celebration of local and international spirits, liqueurs, mixers and cocktails will return in May 2023.
Founded by influential industry figure, Penny Sippe, Australian Cocktail Month was originally established to champion Australia’s cocktail industry and support local bars and bartenders as they bounced back from the lockdowns and restrictions of 2020. This will mark the third year of Australian Cocktail Month and it continues to grow and is already establishing itself as one of the key events in the bar calendar.
Year three will continue with the goal of supporting bars and bartenders along with cementing May as the month Australia joins together to celebrate the hospitality industry and memorable cocktails.
Once again Australian Cocktail Month will partner with handpicked venues in cities Australian wide creating precincts for consumers to explore, enjoying world class cocktails as they go.
Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide bars will continue to feature plus great venues in Canberra, Darwin, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Newcastle, Perth and Wollongong will be back for their second year.
“Australia is brimming with creative and highly skilled hospitality professionals and I am proud to be able to celebrate and showcase this talent. May is a month to enjoy all the cocktails and planning is well underway,” says Sippe.
Australian Cocktail Month will join forces with brands to deliver feature events and experiences to engage consumers throughout the month.
