April is here, and with it comes the perfect excuse to shake up your drinks menu.
As the city pulses with late-summer energy, we’ve been sipping our way through the latest and greatest in Sydney’s drinks scene. From limited-edition spirits to fresh, seasonal wines, here are our top picks to keep your glass full this month.
Tommy’s Booze Canned Spritzes
Melbourne’s own Tommy’s Booze is taking Italian liqueurs to the next level with their brand-new range of canned spritzes. Founded by hospitality duo Tom Giurioli and Dan Leuzzi (the team behind Windsor’s Freddy’s Pizza), Tommy’s Booze has built a cult following with its handcrafted limoncello, Mandarino, and Lampone liqueurs.
What started as a backyard experiment with a bag of homegrown lemons has evolved into one of Australia’s most exciting liqueur brands. Now, they’re making it even easier to enjoy a taste of Italy on the go with a lineup of perfectly balanced, ready-to-drink spritzes. Expect bright citrus, refreshing fizz, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Drop Alcoholic Coconut Water & Vodka:
Light, crisp, and effortlessly refreshing—Drop Alcoholic Coconut Water & Vodka is here to change the way you sip. Crafted with real coconut water and a splash of premium vodka, this perfectly fizzy drink is smooth, sessionable, and undeniably delicious. At just 3.7% ABV, it delivers all the fun without the fuss, making it the ideal choice for long afternoons in the sun or laid-back evenings with friends. Created by Below Deck’s Aesha Scott, Drop is designed for easy-drinking moments, whether you’re toasting to the weekend or just unwinding after a busy day.
The Pineapple Negroni at McRae Bar
You know the classics—the Aperol Spritz, the Margarita—but what about the perfect au revoir to summer sip? Enter the Pineapple Negroni, a seasonal standout crafted by two of the industry’s best: World’s 50 Best Bars winner Maybe Sammy and the chic McRae Bar at Capella Sydney. This innovative cocktail takes the beloved Negroni and gives it a tropical edge, blending the bold bitterness of Campari, the herbal punch of gin, and a touch of pineapple sweetness. The twist? The pineapples are sourced from Capella’s Brasserie 1930 kitchen offcuts, giving the drink a sustainable (and seriously delicious) edge. The result? Available until 30th try it while you can.
