"Eau de Vie isn't considered Australia's best cocktail bar for nothing. Housed in the back room of the sleek Kirketon boutique hotel, this award-winning Prohibition-style bar is most famous for its inventive and insanely theatrical libations, the type that are shrouded in clouds of eucalyptus and wood smoke, served over frozen river rocks, topped with saffron mousse, chilled with liquid nitrogen, and occasionally set on fire. There are more than 50 drinks to try, each one more innovative than the last." - Kris Fordham, Laura Dannen Redman
