“Bar Toto in Ettalong Beach does one of my all-time favourite cocktails; the Pornstar 2.0. Not only is the name great, but its lemony and passionfruit twist creates a sweet and sour combo that is perfect summer drinking.”Read more

“Anything from the impressive cocktail list at Da Orazio in Bondi Beach is incredible, but if I had to choose, my pick would have to be Cloudy Bay. It’s refreshing and summery, but still a bit cosy.”Read more

“Smoke Bar in Barangaroo just oozes summer and holiday vibes. Enjoy a tangy Livin’ is Easy cocktail in one hand and watch the night spill over the harbour on a balmy summer's day.”Read more

“Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel screams ‘summer holidays’ for me. After a swim at the beach, head next door and sip on refreshing Spritz while basking in the warm sun. That’s summer perfection.”Read more
