‘Tis the season for joyful chaos, twinkly lights, and a cocktail in hand! Whether your December is filled with parties, proposals or a little bit of both, we thought it was high time to bring back our beloved Cocktail Friday. So, what better way to kick things off than with a fruity, festive sip from Melbourne’s Jin Bar, the kind of drink that practically toasts itself.
You know we love cocktails, cake and making merry with loved ones. Happily, the festive season and weddings have these things in common! Whether you’re planning on popping the question on Christmas morning, surprising the family with a December engagement announcement over a turkey lunch or even eloping on NYE; this fruity little cocktail by Jin Bar in Melbourne will be a memorable addition to the occasion.
We recommend using a local Christmas gin like one from Four Pillars, McHenry’s or Here’s Looking at You Kid to make this taste even more festive!

Jin Bar is conveniently located near Southern Cross Station, the Flagstaff Gardens, and one of our favourite morning-after brunch spots, Higher Ground, right inside the Dorsett Hotel. Just one of the hotel’s available event spaces; Jin Bar might be our favourite – and you can hire it to have all to yourself and up to 70 of your human favourites. Decked out in navy, brass, charcoal and Champagne hues, it’s a pretty luxe spot for an engagement cocktail party or wedding shower. And because it’s nestled amid a hotel you don’t even need to bother with an Uber home! A very merry time is bound to be had by all.
