The Latest Sips & Snacks Worth Trying

/ 7 August 2025

Whether you’re planning your next golden hour spritz, chasing a better breakfast or just want something strong to sip come 5pm, this list has you covered.

We’ve rounded up the latest sips and snacks to land across shelves

Thieves Collection Single Malt Whisky

Thieves Collection, a standout small-batch whisky brand from Western Australia, is making waves internationally after being crowned Best Australian Whisky at the 2025 International Whisky Competition in Kentucky. Their Gold Single Malt is crafted in Fremantle using 100% local malted barley and triple-distilled through bespoke copper stills. This win follows a recent Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirit Awards, highlighting the label’s bold commitment to crafting a world-class Australian spirit. For whisky lovers seeking a distinctive taste of homegrown quality, Thieves Collection is now available nationwide and online here.

Abe’s Bagels High-Protein Bagel

Bagel cravings, meet your new gym buddy. Abe’s Bagels has launched Australia’s first high-protein bagel, giving your brekkie a little extra bite (and not just flavour-wise). Each chewy, golden round packs 12 grams of plant-based pea protein, plus a decent hit of fibre and fewer carbs than your average bagel, but still tastes like the real deal. Whether you’re chasing that post-workout fuel or just want something that’ll actually keep you full ‘til lunch, this might be your new go-to. Keep an eye out for them in Woolworths and find out more info here.

Amante 1530 Aperitivo

There’s a new spritz in town—and it’s got serious main character energy. Amante 1530 is the Italian aperitivo that’s just landed exclusively in Australia, and it’s already making a bold first impression. Crafted in Rome with a Tuscan-born recipe (and dreamed up over a long, wine-fuelled dinner by a group of friends—one of them being Sting, no less), Amante is all about that la dolce vita lifestyle, minus the sugar crash. Whether you’re pouring it into a sun-soaked spritz or shaking it into a wintry Palombo with tequila and lime, it’s a back-bar essential that earns its place at brunch and after dark. Bonus: the packaging is just as chic as the pour—vintage Italian glass, tarot-card vibes, and serious shelf appeal. Consider your cocktail hour upgraded.

HOXTON Pink Gin

Pink gin just got a glow-up. Meet HOXTON Pink Gin—the latest drop from the East London-born label shaking up your spirits shelf. Infused with juicy strawberries, rosehip and a subtle hit of hibiscus, this bold newcomer balances its fruity edge with a crisp base of juniper and citrus. It’s sustainably distilled, bottled at a punchy 40% ABV, and comes dressed in signature HOXTON style—playful, punchy, and built for the modern drinker. Whether you’re sipping it with tonic on a sunny arvo or shaking it into your next party-starting cocktail, this vibrant pink pour is anything but shy. Add to cart, add to bar, and let the good times be-gin.
