Cocktail on the rocks? Or on the road?
Looking to shake (or stir) up your drinking habits? Some of our favourite Melbourne bars are delivering their signature cocktails across town to ensure we get our fill of fancy liquor creations. Your lounge might not be as lush as The Everleigh, lighting not as romantic as Atticus Finch, or atmosphere not as cool as Heartbreaker, but that doesn’t mean you can’t drink like you’re there.
Lulie
Whip out some records and pop up a photo of your favourite curly-haired bartender, Lulie is delivering you freshly poured pints and bottled cocktails in their Van with a Can. One week in, and they’ve already sold out their Friday and Saturday drink drops, but don’t lose faith, they’ll be announcing info about the next one soon.
The Everleigh
Level up your Formal Friday plans with a freshly-shaken cocktail by the masters at The Everleigh, delivered straight to your door. If something pre-made is what you’re after, there’s a range of bottled cocktails from The Everleigh Bottling Co. If you’re feeling like a big night, there are cocktail sets to choose from too. Suburb restrictions apply, and pick up is also available.
Find out more via their website.
Heartbreaker
If you’re looking for a pick-me-up from Wednesday through Sunday, 5pm to 11pm, Heartbreaker can get it to you. Like usual, they’re keeping it simple. Alongside a generous range of beers, you can find an array of 700ml bottles of spirits – they’ll leave the mixing up to you. Or they also have a selection of pre-made cocktails by The Everleigh Bottling Co.

Bar Americano
If you’re missing Bar Americano’s classic Americano cocktail, fear no more, you can find 200ml-500ml bottles of your favourite cocktails from $25. If you want to go that extra mile and recreate the intimate atmosphere at home, ditch your home setting and get your hands on any one of the cocktail glasses they have on offer. Don’t forget to buy a drink voucher to use when they reopen.

Low Key
You might not expect Northcote’s home of knock-offs to be slinging cocktails about, but that’s exactly what they’re doing. Keeping it very low-key, you can grab either a negroni or old fashioned – bottled by Low Key – via Samuel Pepys, with delivery options coming soon. Enjoy in Low Key style by accompanying your cocktail with a pizza from Primo.
Atticus Finch
Beloved Lygon Street haunt Atticus Finch is also offering up some of their best cocktails. Freshly made concoctions include their Frosty Fruit Margherita among others, and if you’re looking for something a little stronger, check out their ‘Stiffer Shelf Cocktails’ range. Delivery is to select suburbs with a $5 flat rate, and pick up is also available.
