It seems the whole of Australia is getting into the Taylor Swift spirit ahead of her highly anticipated Eras tour down under.
And now a Melbourne hotel has launched a special drinks menu inspired by the pop star so guests can “party like it's 1989”.
This week only, Ovolo Hotel South Yarra is serving six different delicious cocktails and mocktails.
Topping the signature list is “French Blondie (Taylor Swift’s Version),” a blend of London Dry Gin, Lillet Blanc, St Germain and grapefruit juice, rounded off with grapefruit peel.
Meanwhile, 'Champagne Problems' features a refreshing blend of French champagne, elderflower liqueur, soda water and a sprinkle of gold edible glitter.

For something fruitier, guests can enjoy a “Swift-Jito” with white rum, lime, simple syrup, watermelon and mint leaves.
And to “Shake It Off” with something non-alcoholic, there's a berry drink named after her Taylor's hit, with NON 3, raspberry syrup, lime juice, simple syrup, Fever Tree elderflower tonic and thyme spring, lemon peel and raspberries.
Two other mocktails, Cruel Summer non-Spritz and Lavender Haze, are also on the list.
All drinks are available from February 12th to 17th at Lona Misa South Yarra, Backroom South Yarra and Amphlett House CBD.
