Australian Cocktail Month (ACM) was developed to champion the Australian cocktail industry and support bars and bartenders as they welcomed guests back into their venues following Covid-19 closures and restrictions of 2020, 2021 and early 2022. Throughout May ACM showcases cocktails, spirits, bartenders and the venues who bring life and vibrancy to our cities across Australia.
