It’s time to party like it’s 1989! Melbourne hotel launches special Taylor Swift-inspired cocktails to celebrate her Aussie Eras tour

It looks like all of Australia is getting into the Taylor Swift mood ahead of her highly anticipated Eras tour Down Under.

And now a Melbourne hotel has launched a special drinks menu inspired by the pop star so guests can ‘party like it’s 1989’.

Only this week the Ovolo Hotel South Yarra serves six different tasty cocktails and mocktails.

First on the signature list is the ‘French Blondie (Taylor Swift’s version)’, a mix of London Dry Gin, Lillet Blanc, St Germain and grapefruit juice, finished with grapefruit peels.

Meanwhile, ‘Champagne Problems’ features a thirst-quenching concoction of French champagne, elderflower liqueur, soda water and a dash of gold edible glitter.

For something fruitier, guests can enjoy a ‘Swift-Jito’ with white rum, lime, sugar syrup, watermelon and mint leaves.

And ‘Shake It Off’ with something non-alcoholic includes a berry-licious drink named after Taylor’s hit, with NON 3, raspberry syrup, lime juice, sugar syrup, Fever Tree elderflower tonic and thyme sprig, lemon peel and raspberries.

Two other mocktails, ‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Lavender Haze’, are also on the list.

All drinks are available from February 12 to 17 at Lona Misa South Yarra, Backroom South Yarra and Amphlett House CBD.
