Quarantine cocktails: Simply Cocktails are bringing the bar to you

Quarantine cocktails: Fiorente Bottle and Cocktail

It’s official, quarantine cocktails are our new favourite thing.

It’s no secret many of us are drinking to drown our iso sorrows right now. And let me just clarify: that’s not to say we’re all alcoholics, per se. We’re simply enjoying have a wine (bottle) or two at home because hey, what else is there to do right now? Whether you’re sipping a cab sav in your bubble bath or taking part in the Instastory drinking challenges (we’re doing both), having yourself a nice quarantine drink ain’t hurting nobody.

So, why not take things to the next level? Quarantine COCKTAILS are now on the cards thanks to Simply Cocktails. Last week, they launched an epic new initiative to keep us entertained this iso season. ‘Home Five O’Clock-tails’ are a series of live video tutorials and virtual mini masterclasses that will be taking place on Simply Cocktails’ Facebook page. Happening every Tuesday and Friday until the 30th of June, cocktail lovers will have the chance to enjoy their favourites (and some new styles) from the comfort of their home.

What’s also awesome about the quarantine cocktails initiative is that Simply Cocktails are helping out some of our recently unemployed local bartenders. They have recruited 100 Australian bartenders to submit tutorials, all of whom have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 closures. Yeah, we’re all for this. Bartenders from local haunts Red October, Hains & Co and Bank Street Social are expected to participate.
