Sour worms, Italian prosecco and Tanqueray gin anyone? Why choose between dessert and drinks when you can have both at White Rabbit. Create a boomerang cheers to that.

This tart and refreshing cocktail is made with blanco tequila, lime and spiced cherry shrub—and it’ll look stunning on your Insta story. Hidden in the Melbourne Building, be aware their menu is constantly changing, but we promise it’ll always be good.
