Or going for a cocktail at Rooks Return in Fitzroy [in Melbourne].” Of course, if you’re serving up cocktails at home, Aurelia highly recommends this fruity, summery deliciousness, the Sunset Cooler. “I love cocktails that fit more than one flavour profile. The Sunset Cooler is both sweet and spicy – perfect!” Once that’s mixed up, Aurelia has a few ideas for their dream cocktail party guests. “I'm inviting Solange, Sza and Shea Couleé,” says Aurelia. “Solange and Sza are getting a Martini, and I’m making a Mai Tai for Shea.” If you’re feeling a bit tropical, and have a hankering for something a little sweet and fruity with a kick of spice, then definitely have a go at Aurelia St Clair’s Sunset Cooler.

Aurelia’s top tips
One of the best things about Aurelia’s cocktail, the Sunset Cooler, is how easy it is to make. It's a very simple shake-and-dump-into-a-glass kind of cocktail, which is perfect for a lazy summer’s day. Aurelia suggests using fresh mangoes, but if you’re mixing this up out of season, when this fruit is either extremely expensive or unavailable, frozen mangoes will work well, too. If making a few, you could even blitz it all together in a blender – minus the White Claw – and it will bring a different texture to the drink, upping those tropcial vibes. To complete the experience, Aurelia suggests using serving up some “tacos, nachos and guacamole” to nibble alongside it.
