The Sarina Sugar Shed celebrated new releases at a special launch event last Saturday night.
The big-ticket item on the night was the newly released Cocktail Recipe Book, with goodies to match, including orange aromatic bitters, chocolate aromatic bitters, cocktail kits with handmade glass stirrers and dishes by Azure Glass, and Sugar Shed Cocktail candies, with champagne jelly beans.
Attendees were given exclusive access to the range of new products and were gifted a copy of the recipe book to take home.
“The team at the Sugar Shed have outdone themselves with their new cocktail book,” said Deputy Mayor Karen May, who attended the launch.
“It is literally bursting with cocktail recipes and ideas to get the Sarina Sugar Shed rums and liqueurs off the shelf and into some amazing cocktail creations.”
The new cocktail book was inspired by the Mackay community, according to Sarah-Jane Parrott, a Sugar Shed distiller.
“While at local events, we are often asked for cocktail making tips for our rums and liqueurs and it motivated us to write down some ideas and share our favourite recipes,” she said.
“The new cocktail guide lists 16 cocktail recipes, a number of which were my own and others are favourites from our team, which will help our customers create their own delicious drinks.”
“One of the cocktail recipes is named in honour of the late Trudy O’Rourke, who was an amazing tour guide for many years at the Sugar Shed and greatly missed by all the team.”
The Sarina Sugar Shed Cocktail Book is available at the Sarina Sugar Shed gift shop at the Sarina Field of Dream Parklands.
