SIP & STROLL

NOW HERE IS AN IDEA WITH A GREAT NAME. BEAM SUNTORY HAVE LAUNCHED SIP & STROLL, A GUIDED COCKTAIL TOUR THROUGH SYDNEY’S HIPPEST VENUES FROM TRENDING COCKTAIL BARS TO THE MOST IMPRESSIVE NEW ESTABLISHMENTS. THE INAUGURAL SIP AND STROLL TOUR REVEALED A SUITE OF THE MOST TANTALISING COCKTAILS CRAFTED BY AUSTRALIA’S FINEST BARTENDERS. WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE?

Sip & Stroll cocktail tours were held on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons through the month of October. Hosted by world-class cocktail expert Cam Pirret, the stroll took consumers through an immersive experience of classic and new wave cocktails including how to appreciate them and how to make them.

Four iconic bars across Sydney CBD were carefully selected as destinations and included The Rook, Papa Gedes, The Duke of Clarence and the newly opened Double Deuce Lounge. Strollers enjoyed drinking delicious cocktails at each venue while learning about the brands, their heritage and the versatility of the liquids.
