Bar Planet Mega Martini Launch! (Gotcha!!)
Continuing the MUCHO tradition of mega-fying cocktails, we launched the Mega Martini at Bar Planet! Alas, this one was an April Fools joke but you can get your hands on a real Mega Margs at Tio’s and a Grande Spicy Marg at Centro 86!
Cantina OK! x Evi O
We collaborated with self-taught artist, designer, author, and publisher Evi O, the creative force behind beloved Sydney design studio, Evi-O.Studio.
Evi’s practice explores the concepts of optimism, joy, and metamorphosis in the world we live in, often expressed through her use of colour and abstraction, in both 2 & 3 dimensional forms. For this special we ran her iconic pastel piece, ‘A Laissez-faire Attitude’, through the liquid Cantina OK! lens.

Bar Planet “Tarot” Menu Launch
Our 2024 Spring/Summer menu is for all of the Inner West mystics.
✨ Tarot ✨
We took three iconic tarot cards, painted them with the Bar Planet brush, enlisted the help of the freshest of produce, and ended up with a delicious menu of seasonal symbolism.
Centro 86 “Entrar a la Plaza” Menu Launch
Toreador. Matador. Picador. Three historic cocktails brought into the year 2024.
Before the Margarita existed, there was a whole genre of early tequila cocktails.
All three of these seasonal creations harken back to recipes from 1937’s ‘Cafe Royale Cocktail Book’, reimagined through the lens of what we can do in 2024 that we couldn’t before.
How can we revisit classic combinations with an emphasis on a wider, more international pantry, modern techniques and a focus on the freshest ingredients?
Cantina OK! “Zoo” Menu Launch
Jumbo OK! Bongo OK! Agro OK!
Three drinks inspired by our favourite megafauna. There are no more charismatic animals on earth than the hippo, the elephant and the croc.
An idea born from the making of our very own croc pechuga, a literal distillation of crocodile spirit found in the Agro OK!.
Find your spirit animal.
Cantina OK! x Messina
We teamed up with your favourite gelateria for the greatest spicy marg Sydney has ever seen, alongside an exclusive weekly gelato flavour!
