The Lakeside Pack — 12 Glass-Free Cocktails for a Weekend by the Lake
There's no bar by the lake. You are the bar.
Most bush doofs and lakeside campgrounds sell nothing on site and ban glass outright — so what you carry in on Thursday is what you're drinking until Monday. Twelve bar-made cocktails, sealed in pouches, clipped to a lanyard: both hands free for four days on a barefoot dancefloor.
Or build your own: $14 a pouch · $13 each on 3+ · $12 each on 6+ · pick your cocktails →
Every Lakeside Pack includes Express Post — or mix your own and pick Express Post 2-day for $30 at checkout. We dispatch from Mitchell in Canberra, about an hour from Wee Jasper. Order by 4pm Tuesday 22 September and it's there before you head for the lake this weekend.
Last orders 4pm Tuesday 22 SeptemberIt rained on the Mundi Mundi Plains. Nobody put their drink down.
Hundreds of festival-goers took MXTOLOGY out onto the Mundi Mundi Plains last month. Then the rain came in. They clipped the pouch to the lanyard and kept dancing — both hands up, drink still going, nothing to spill and nothing to break. That's the whole idea: a bar cocktail you can wear. A barefoot, fully BYO weekend by the lake is the festival this was built for.
The Lakeside Pack — twelve rounds, one box.
The curated dozen for four days by the lake
- 2× Pornstar Martini
- 2× Espresso Martini
- 1× Tommy's Margarita
- 1× Piña Colada
- 1× Fabulous Cosmopolitan
- 1× Elderflower Gin Gimlet
- 1× Aussie Berry Bliss
- 1× Shiso Sour
- 1× Granny Smith Fireball
- 1× Amaretto Whisky Sour
- Ten different cocktails — enough range that the whole camp finds one, and doubled up on the crowd-pleasers so nobody misses out.
- Nothing else to pack — no spirits, no mixers, no shaker, no limes, no cups. Twelve finished cocktails, and that's the whole bar.
- Standard drinks printed on every label (0.9–1.6 per pouch) — easy to pace across four big nights.
- Free lanyard in the box — clip it on, both hands back.
Twelve bar cocktails at festival-bar prices: $264–$336. Here: $159 with Express Post included. Twelve singles on the 6+ rate plus $30 Express would be $174 — the pack is $15 cheaper, with the choosing done for you.

Clip it on and dance with both hands.
Four days, four stages, no shoes. Your hands are for dancing, torches, tent zips and holding on to your mates — not for nursing a cup in the dark. Every MXTOLOGY order comes with a lanyard, and the pouch clips straight onto it.
- Wear it, don't carry it. The cocktail hangs on your chest. Both hands free, all night, every night.
- Reseal and wander. Cap it between sips and move between stages. Nothing spills, nothing gets left behind.
- Nothing to put down in the dark. No cup on the ground, no half-drink knocked over, nothing to hunt for at 3am.
- Barefoot-safe by design. Barefoot dancefloors are exactly why glass gets banned. A pouch can't break.
- Free lanyard with every order. The one Gordon Ramsay is wearing further down this page.
You do the ten-second shake. We did the ten years behind the bar.
These aren't premix. Every recipe is built to bar spec with real spirits and real citrus, mixed fresh in Australia, then sealed while it's still a cocktail. The last step — the bit a bartender does with a shaker — is yours, and it takes ten seconds.
Open
Crack the cap and let a breath of air in. The pouch expands like a shaker tin.
Close
Seal it back up tight. Now you're holding a shaker with the drink already in it.
Shake
Ten seconds. This is what builds the crema on the sours and lifts the citrus — exactly what a bartender's shaker does. A bottle can't. A can can't.
Sip
Straight from the pouch, or over ice in whatever's clean. Bar-quality, on a picnic rug by the water.
What a bar charges for an Espresso Martini, versus what one costs in the Lakeside Pack — no queue, no walk back, no closing time. And when there's no bar, there's nobody to charge you at all.
Or stock the camp bar your way.

“I’ll just decant some spirits into soft drink bottles.”
Fair enough — plenty of people do, and it works. But it's a plan for getting drunk, not a plan for a good drink. Here's the honest comparison.
Half a dozen bottles of mystery
- Buy the spirits, the mixers, the limes and the ice — then find something to carry it all in.
- Pour it at home and hope you got the ratio right. No jigger at camp, no second chance.
- Pack cups, a knife, a board, a bottle opener, and something to wash them in.
- It's warm bourbon and flat cola by 9pm, and nobody knows how strong anything is.
- Cups and half-full bottles all over the site in the morning, and it all has to come home again.
One item. Already a cocktail.
- Made at bar spec by people who do this for a living, with real spirits and real citrus.
- Ten seconds of shaking is the entire preparation. No measuring, no mixers, no shaker.
- The pouch is the vessel — nothing to pack, nothing to wash, nothing to break.
- Icy cold from the esky, and exactly as strong as the label says: 0.9–1.6 standard drinks.
- Reseals, clips to the lanyard, and packs out flat when you bump out.
Both plans get you a drink. Only one of them tastes like the bar you'd actually choose. And at $12–$14 a cocktail, it's cheaper than the round you'd buy anywhere with a bar.
Why it works on the lake bank.
Zero glass
Most bush festivals and lakeside campgrounds ban glass. Pouches are glass-free and crush-proof — check the current conditions of entry for wherever you're heading before you pack.
A real cocktail, no bar
When nothing is sold on site, this is the only way to have an Espresso Martini at Wee Jasper on a Saturday night.
Hands-free on the lanyard
Clip it on and wear your cocktail. Both hands back for the dancefloor. Free lanyard with every order.
Nothing else to pack
No spirits, no mixers, no cups, no limes. Twelve pouches and your bar is stocked for the whole four days.
Express Post included
Built into the $159 on this pack, not an upsell at checkout. We post from Mitchell in Canberra — about an hour from Wee Jasper.
Keeps 12 months
CitrusFresh™ keeps them fresher than 98% of bars, so whatever camp doesn't get through comes home just as good.
“You've given people their most valuable resource back. Their time. It's bloody brilliant.”
What festival-goers say about the cocktails in this pack.
Verified Okendo reviews left on the individual MXTOLOGY cocktails inside the Lakeside Pack, by people who took them camping and to festivals.
Pick me up!!
“Bought for the Mundi Mundi Bash, these were just the little pick me up, either as a starter or as s nice finisher. No glass makes them a perfect festival and travel addition”
Amazing summer party starter
“Luv luv luved these babies....... was able to socialise and dance while not putting my drink down. These should be available at every club and festival”
Best way to drink
“One of my favorite cocktails in the easiest way to drink it. Even better that it's in a pouch, and attached to the lanyard... No glass means I can be in more places with my drink.”
Delicious
“Unreal got to carry away with the lanyard”
Love the party box!
“I've been loving using the party box for a lucky dip drink every day. Very impressed with how good they taste (just like the real thing!). These would be ideal for camping or a picnic. Cheers!”
Mai Tai
“No glass, no swag, Just rum in a bag. Sip, smile, relax Tastes like beach and snacks.”
Can you take cocktail pouches to a BYO bush festival where glass is banned?
Yes — that's exactly what they're for. MXTOLOGY pouches are a pre-mixed spirit cocktail in a completely glass-free, crush-proof, resealable 130ml pouch that clips to a lanyard, so they suit fully BYO festivals and campgrounds with no-glass rules and no bar. Every event sets its own conditions of entry, including how much alcohol you can bring and where you can drink it, and those rules can change — always check the current published conditions for wherever you're heading before you pack. MXTOLOGY is an independent brand and can't speak for any event's rules. Each pouch is a complete bar-quality cocktail (8.7–16% ABV, 0.9–1.6 standard drinks), and Wee Jasper is a long way from a bottle shop, so order online before you travel: the Lakeside Pack includes Express Post from Canberra, about an hour from the lake.
Four things worth sorting before you drive to the lake.
None of it is complicated — but it's a lot easier to sort in your driveway than in the paddock:
- Order early. Express Post is included and we dispatch from Canberra, about an hour from Wee Jasper — but the earlier you order, the surer it is to beat you there.
- Check your event's conditions. Every festival and campground publishes its own rules on alcohol, glass and quantities. Read the current version before you pack — we can't speak for any of them.
- Pack ice, not glassware. The pouch is the shaker and the glass. One bag of ice on top of twelve pouches and the camp bar is open.
- Pace it off the label. Standard drinks are printed on every pouch (0.9–1.6). Twelve across four days is a comfortable amount for one person.
✕ Leave at home
Spirits, mixers, limes, chopping board, shaker, cups, and anything made of glass. None of it needs to come.
✓ Bring
Twelve finished cocktails, one free lanyard, a bag of ice. Four nights by the lake, sorted — and it's barefoot-safe.
Express Post is included on this pack. Every Lakeside Pack ships on AusPost Express — it's included in the $159, so there's nothing to select and nothing added at checkout. We dispatch from Mitchell in Canberra, roughly an hour up the road from Wee Jasper, so for the ACT and the Southern Tablelands this is effectively an overnight run. Order early and it lands before you head for the lake.
Lakeside festival drinks, answered.
What's in the Lakeside Pack?
Twelve pouches, weighted to the crowd-pleasers: 2× Pornstar Martini and 2× Espresso Martini, plus one each of Tommy's Margarita, Piña Colada, Fabulous Cosmopolitan, Elderflower Gin Gimlet, Aussie Berry Bliss, Shiso Sour, Granny Smith Fireball and Amaretto Whisky Sour. $159 with Express Post included.
Which festivals is this for?
Any of them. The pack was built for barefoot, fully BYO weekends by the water — bush doofs, lakeside campgrounds and long weekends up the road from Canberra — anywhere with no bar and no glass. It isn't tied to, affiliated with or endorsed by any particular event.
Can I take these where glass is banned?
MXTOLOGY pouches are completely glass-free and crush-proof, so they pack straight into the esky. Most bush festivals ban glass, and every event sets its own rules on what you can bring — always check the current conditions of entry for wherever you're heading. We can't speak for any event's rules.
How much alcohol can I bring to an event?
That's set by each event's own conditions of entry, and they change — check the current published rules for wherever you're heading. We're an independent brand and can't speak for any event. What we can tell you: each pouch is a 130ml pre-mixed spirit cocktail, glass-free, with the standard drinks printed on the label.
Will it arrive in time?
Every Lakeside Pack ships on AusPost Express as part of the $159, and we dispatch from Mitchell in Canberra — about an hour from Wee Jasper — so the ACT, the Southern Tablelands, the Riverina and Sydney are usually next-day. Order as early as you can; Express timeframes are AusPost's and aren't guaranteed to every address.
How does the hands-free lanyard work?
Every order comes with a free MXTOLOGY lanyard, and the pouch clips straight onto it — so the cocktail hangs on your chest and both hands stay free. Reseal the cap between sips and you can move between stages without putting your drink down anywhere.
Are these actually bar-quality, or are they premix?
Bar-quality. Every recipe is built to bar spec with real top-shelf spirits and real citrus, mixed fresh in Australia at 8.7–16% ABV, then sealed. The one step left is the shake — ten seconds in the pouch does exactly what a bartender's shaker does, including building the crema on the sours. Gordon Ramsay chose them for his winning team on Food Stars, and 1,200+ verified reviews average 4.9 stars.
How do you drink a cocktail pouch?
Open · Close · Shake · Sip: unscrew the cap to let air in, close the lid, shake for ten seconds to liven the citrus and build the crema, then drink straight from the spout — or pour it over ice. No shaker, no mixers, nothing to wash up.
Is twelve enough for four days?
Most people land around 2–3 a day, so a twelve-pack is roughly three a night across four days for one person, or a nightly round for a group of three or four. With no bar on site, it pays to bring what you actually want. Anything left keeps for months and comes home with you.
How many standard drinks is a pouch?
Between 0.9 and 1.6 standard drinks depending on the cocktail (8.7–16% ABV), printed on every label — much easier to pace across four days than free-pouring spirits at camp.
