Here's a round of drinks you can feel good about. The world's most awarded tequila fam, 1800 Tequila, has partnered with Botanic Gardens of Sydney (BGS) to create a series of pop-up bars across Melbourne and Sydney. The three-day events educate drinkers on Australia's precarious biodiversity while showcasing the complex flavours native plants can add to cocktails. All proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the Rainforest Seed Conservation Project.
Sadly, Australia is facing a significant biodiversity decline, with high rates of extinction and more species facing growing threats every day. The scientists at the helm of this BGS-funded research are devoted to reversing the damage and preserving the environment for future generations. The Greenhouse Bar is an insightful (and delicious) way to support their work.
The Melbourne edition takes place over the weekend from Friday, October 27 to Sunday, October 29 at the Clifton Street Pop Up in Prahran, a calming space that's just like a breath of rainforest-fresh air, with vibrant greenery, moody lighting and unique botanic displays. While you sip on a selection of 1800 Tequila cocktails crafted with Aussie native ingredients, you'll learn all about the breadth and beauty of our natural world.
A $25 ticket gets you into the enchanting bar for a 90-minute experience that includes four half-serve cocktails that hero the distinct flavours of Aussie flora, light snacks, a cheese platter and fascinating insights into Australia's wondrous plant life. Plus, you'll receive a small gift to help further support biodiversity.
