Top 4 Australian Cocktails

Lemon, lime, and bitters is a cocktail made with a combination of lemonade, lime juice cordial, and Angostura bitters. In order to prepare this soft, soothing cocktail, all ingredients should be combined in a jug, then poured into ice-filled glasses garnished with lemon or lime slices. Another way of preparing the cocktail is to rim the glasses with Angostura on the inside until the glasses are fully coated with the aromatic bitters. Due to the extremely low alcoholic content, LLB is often considered a mocktail or a non-alcoholic cocktail. It is especially popular at Australian and New Zealander golf courses.Expand

Japanese Slipper is a cocktail made with a combination of equal parts Midori liqueur, Cointreau, and lemon juice. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be shaken with ice, then strained into a cocktail glass with a single maraschino cherry on the bottom. The cocktail is often garnished with a honeydew melon slice. This fruity drink was invented in 1984 by Jean-Paul Bourguignon, at the Mietta’s Restaurant in Melbourne.Expand

Death Flip is one of the so-called modern classics. This cocktail combines blanco tequila, yellow Chartreuse, Jägermeister, simple syrup, and a whole egg. The ingredients are shaken with ice and strained into a glass. Death Flip is usually served in a coupe glass. The top is traditionally garnished with freshly grated nutmeg. The cocktail was created by Chris Hysted-Adams, a bartender at Black Pearl in Melbourne, Australia. It was first introduced in 2010. The name is a reference to flip cocktails—a 19th-century cocktail category that includes eggs, while the death part could be a reference to its potency. Adams claims that the name is associated with a challenging skateboarding trick. Expand

Fizzy Apple Cocktail is an Australian mixed drink made with a combination of apple vodka, apple juice, and lemonade. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be poured into a chilled glass with ice, and the cocktail is then served garnished with apple or lemon slices. This drink is typically consumed by the younger generations, and it was supposedly invented because the famous Appletini was too strong for the average Australian palate.Expand
