Cocktail Recipe: About Time's Iced Coffee Slushie

If you've read our round up of the best things to do this month in Sydney, then you'll have heard about the epic takeover of the iconic Opera Bar during Sydney Cocktail Festival, where, later this month, 13 of our favourite Sydney small bars are taking over the iconic harbourside venues. 

However, even if you're not in Sydney, we've got an exclusive recipe from the folks at About Time so you can enjoy these epic cocktails at home! 

Here for a good time, not a long time, About Time is a small bar on the corner of Hunter and Bligh in Sydney's CBD. Opening in October 2021, About Time will occupy the space until December 2022 when the wrecking ball comes through and the building is demolished to make way for the Hunter Street metro.

Run by seven mates with epic hospo experience who decided to throw caution to the wind and open up their own bar. Heavy on the nostalgia, this bar will tickle your inner-child with frosty fruit inspired cocktails, Milo'spresso, s'mores old fashioned, strawberry and cream-ing soda cocktails, Zooper Dooper and big kid slushies like the boozy iced coffee.

Look, the best part about being a grown-up is nobody can tell you that you can't add sprinkles to something. Go nuts!
