Christmas in July

Melbourne winter finally makes sense.

For the month of July, Dive Bar is doing Christmas properly — the way the northern hemisphere intended. Cold outside. Warm drinks. Four festive cocktails, available all month.

Bridge & Barrel — $24
Shanky's Whip, Woodford Rye, coconut syrup. Rich, dark, slightly tropical. Like a snow globe from a duty-free store.

Winter Current — $24
Shiraz gin, apricot brandy, vanilla syrup, apple juice, ginger ale. Long, spiced, and dangerously easy.

Last Light — $20
Shanky's Whip, St Agnes Brandy, cream, vanilla syrup. Dessert in a glass. Nobody's judging.

Four in a Day — $20
Bourbon, apple blackcurrant juice, agave, lime juice, ginger beer. Bright, sharp, built for a session.

Available throughout July. No bookings required, though tables fill fast on weekends.
