World Cocktail Months 2026 | May – August 2026

Cocktail Eras - Celebrating 220 Years of Cocktail Culture

In 1806, the word “cocktail” appeared in print for the very first time. In 2026, we raise a glass to 220 years of craft, creativity, and culture.

This World Cocktail Months, Hotel Chadstone MGallery invites you to travel through the defining eras of cocktail history, from the golden age of the classics to the boundary-pushing innovations of today. Each sip is a story. Each pairing, a moment worth sharing.

At Altus Bar, our bartenders have reimagined these eras through a curated cocktail menu where every serve is inspired by a chapter in cocktail history. And every great chapter deserves the perfect companion, each cocktail is thoughtfully paired with an exclusive bar bite by Michelin-starred Chef Pam. Small bites, big stories, crafted to enhance, contrast, and spotlight the flavours in your glass.

Every era. Every sip. Right here at Chadstone.
