The Daily Aus and Maybe Sammy have launched ‘Agree to Disagree’: a limited-edition cocktail designed for the conversations (and tensions) that can define Christmas lunch.
The Daily Aus (TDA) and Maybe Sammy have joined forces to create ‘Agree to Disagree’, a limited-edition premium craft cocktail launching just in time for Christmas. It’s designed for the family members you love, even when you don’t see eye to eye on politics, the economy, or how the world should work.
The collaboration pairs Australia’s leading youth news platform with the country’s most acclaimed cocktail makers. The result is a gift-ready cocktail that acknowledges a simple truth: you don’t
always have to agree with someone to share something excellent with them.
What family Christmas actually looks like
Different generations. Different perspectives. Different views on politics, climate, housing, and everything in between. Australian families gather around the table each December knowing they
don’t see the world the same way – but they show up for each other anyway.
“The Daily Aus covers politics, economics, housing, climate – the topics that can cause some fireworks across the lunch table,” said Sam Koslowski, co-founder of TDA. “When the end of the year rolled around, we asked ourselves: what’s the perfect gift for those you love but don’t always agree with? The answer wasn’t very far away – the new bar from The Maybe Group, El Primo Sanchez, just opened directly below our office.”
Each 500ml bottle comes gift-ready with premium packaging and the ‘Subject Changers’ card, featuring seven thoughtfully designed questions to help families redirect conversation toward connection rather than conflict. Questions like “What’s something you appreciate about being the age you are right now?” offer gentle on-ramps to meaningful dialogue.
“Great cocktails bring people together, even when they see the world differently,” said Stefano Catino, co-founder of The Maybe Group. “You might disagree about politics, but you can still share something excellent. That’s what this cocktail is designed to do.”
“This isn’t about avoiding hard conversations – it’s about acknowledging that disagreement doesn’t mean you can’t share something excellent together,” Koslowski added. “At least we can all agree on good taste.”
