This Halloween, two of The Rocks’ most atmospheric bars, The Doss House and Frank Mac’s, are joining forces for something deliciously dark.

From Friday 24th October to Sunday 2nd November, guests can step into a “Trick or Treat” cocktail experience featuring six limited-edition drinks, theatrically served and priced at just $10 each.

Split between three Tricks and three Treats, the cocktails are designed to surprise, delight and occasionally deceive the senses. Expect everything from smoky, brooding concoctions to sweet, spiced sips that celebrate the spirit of Halloween. Highlights include The Old Haunt, a moody mix of Smokehead whisky, Guinness and blackberry cordial inspired by the Celtic origins of Halloween, and The Blood Moon Sour, a rich, velvety serve topped with a floating layer of mulled wine.

Each drink has been crafted by mixologist Dan Strahand, who’s infused Smokehead’s signature peat and spice into every creation. Think dark spirits, clever theatre, and just the right dose of mischief.
