Easter Beverages To Pack Subheading
Beverages that fuel exploration for an Easter away from home.
There’s a certain magic in packing the vehicle for an Easter exodus south, north, east or even west. The careful Tetris of luggage, food, and of course the booze. We’ve curated (what we think) are the perfect beverages to pack, for any expedition, giving you just one less list to write.
Alby Draught Cans 375mL 30 pack – The 30-pack that says, “I’ve done the math on our collective thirst, and I’m taking no chances.” When the pub feels impossibly far but the thirst is undeniably near, these soldiers of satisfaction stand ready. The taste of home, conveniently packaged for export to wherever your GPS has led you.
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut NV 750mL – Because nothing says “I’m still sophisticated despite wearing the same shorts three days running” quite like French Champagne. This bottle transforms any rental kitchen counter into a VIP section. Pairs perfectly with fresh tagliatelle and pan-fried king prawns.
Clandestine Vineyards Prosecco Rosé 750mL – The bottle that turns you from “the person making drinks” to “master mixologist” with minimal effort. Add raspberry puree, serve in whatever glasses you found in the holiday house cupboard, and accept compliments with practiced humility. “Oh, this Bellini? Just a little something I whipped up. No, really, it was nothing.”
Voyager Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 750mL – The Margaret River local that needs no introduction to the region. This is a wine that knows the road well; a vibrant blend with fresh, crunchy flavours of tropical and citrus fruits, that pairs effortlessly with a beachside sunset.
Amelia Park Trellis Cabernet Merlot 750mL – The red that speaks fluent local but impresses all from near and far. Wonderful fragrances with rich red berry fruits and notes of mocha tantalise your senses, and thyme and toasty oak spices follow slowly in, reminding you of fresh hot crossed buns.
James Squire Ginger Beer Cans 330mL 10 pack – The stealth crowd-pleaser that disappears with alarming speed. Ten seems generous until you realize everyone’s eyeing them like prospectors who’ve spotted gold. Their refreshing zing makes them dangerously drinkable for beach-weary palates, so guard your stash with theatrical vigilance.
Johnnie Walker Black & Cola 6% Cans 375mL 4 pack – Pre-mixed magnificence that announces, “I could make this myself, but why would I when Scottish precision meets American efficiency?” Easy to serve, easy to enjoy.
Traveller Whiskey 700mL – The bottle that practically named itself for this occasion. When someone inevitably asks why you packed it, simply gesture vaguely at the horizon and murmur, “We’re travellers, aren’t we?” Then pour another round before anyone can question your philosophy.
Easter travelling far or near isn’t just a holiday—it’s a tactical operation requiring strategic beverage deployment. Pack accordingly, pour generously, and return with stories that improve dramatically with each retelling. The empties may stay behind (and recycled appropriately), but the tales come home with you.
