Thursday, 14 May is World Cocktail Day, so how shall we celebrate?
A cement truck that is actually a cocktail shaker sounds like a pretty good time. Especially when it involves free cocktails.
Thanks to Monkey Shoulder, a colossal cement truck turned cocktail shaker will be handing out free cocktails on Thursday at Welcome to Thornbury.
The free cocktails will be the result of a history-making event, with some of Australiaâs Fastest Cocktail Shakers attempting to break the Guinness World Record of the âThe most cocktails mixed in one minuteâ.
To kick off the event, the giant silver cocktail truck is giving away free cocktails to âthe first in, best dressedâ, courtesy of Monkey Shoulder.
The current âswiftest cocktail mixerâ title sits with a New Yorker, who broke the world record in 2013 by mixing a whopping 18 cocktails in one minute. But Monkey Shoulder â the whisky made for mixing â is seeking to bring the title home to its rightful owner.
Melbourneâs swiftest bartenders, self-made and proclaimed mixologists are invited to join an epic battle of speedy cocktail mixing skills and bar-top flair, with the aim of making Australia officially the number one spot for cocktail-making.
âAt Monkey Shoulder, we love to shake things up and experiment with our whisky, so we thought what better way to showcase our dedication for mixing than to steal the record of the swiftest cocktail mixer from the Americans?â asks Monkey Shoulder Brand Ambassador, Lucille Rose.
âWe canât wait to see the swiftest cocktail mixer in action, taking on the challenge and bringing it home for Australia.â
Surely, a 12 x 4.2 metre cocktail mixing truck will help.
Mexican restaurant chain Mad Mex has dropped a new protein, and it’s one of the most popular street foods in Mexico.
Enter, Chicken Al Pastor. It’s traditionally made with pork and grilled on a spinning rotisserie with a pineapple sitting a top, but Mad Mex has put its own spin on it, serving chicken bathed in an Al Pastor marinade with a touch of juicy pineapple.
You can order the protein-packed filling in your favourite burrito, bowl, quesadilla, nachos, or in a taco.
As always, these things are here for a good time, not a long time. Pop into your local Mad Mex restaurant, order delivery or through the Mad Mex app today.
