Mardi Gras 2026 Cocktails
This year in the Archie Rose bar, the team have selected some of their favourite cocktails from our Mardi Gras menus over the years. These drinks are available at our bar during the Mardi Gras season. If you are feeling brave, you can make these at home!
Teddy Bears’ Picnic at Little Congwong (2024)
Our pick from 2024 this is a bougie sex on the beach, inspired by Sydney’s favourite cruise.
- 30mL Signature Dry Gin
- 13mL Peppercorn Vodka
- 6.5mL orange juice
- 25mL fresh peach puree
- 9mL grenadine

- 5mL Fernet Branca
- orange bitters
Add ingredients to a mixing glass, strain into a coupe and garnish with an orange twist.
