Merivale will lead the celebrations for the annual World Cocktail week from May 5 with a
host of events and global destination themed bars, culminating on World
Cocktail Day on May 13, which commemorates the anniversary of the definition of
the word cocktail. This year’s World Cocktail Week will enable thirsty cocktail
aficionados to sip their way around the globe while learning the art of mixing
their favourite tipple.
In
addition to the internationally celebrated World Cocktail Day, Sydney’s
cocktail drinkers will also be able to learn how to mix a mean drink at one of
Merivale’s many cocktail classes, gain a classic appreciation at the Vintage
Cocktail night, emulate the suave style of the 50s at the Gentleman’s Finishing
School or simply indulge in one of the signature cocktails that will be
specially created to match global destination themes at eleven Merivale venues.
The
Magnificent 7 ‘Live’ cocktail mixing competition returns again this year and
will see seven finalists battle it out for the coveted first place mixologist
title. Guests will enjoy complimentary entry and cocktails on arrival and after
the cocktail competition, The Groove Academy will take the stage and keep the
party pumping into the night.
World
Cocktail Week kicks off with the ‘Cuban
Rum Masterclass’ at the Ivy Pool Club on Thursday 5th May, from 6pm – 7.30pm. It’s $65pp and includes
3 cocktails, Cuban Rum tastings & canapés.
