It has been even more incredible for us at the CAMPARI ACADEMY to be able to kick off 2021 with our ‘The Spritz Explained’ & ‘Mai Tai (R)evolution’ Training Programs, and for the first time since 2019, being able to host our Masterclasses around Australia.
Those venues across Australia that range Never Never gin as a martini option will receive a 1kg jar of the Botanical Cocktail Onions for free, such is the brand’s ambition to spread the word on the tasty garnish.

And if you want to push yourself to the next level, you’ll pick up knowledge and skills beyond the bar so you can drive the industry forward.

World Whisky Day 2021 is on Saturday 15th May. The day takes place on the third Saturday in May each year. Unlike lots of the ‘days’ we celebrate this one has been recognised by the Scottish parliament, and we think that’s as good a reason as any to have a dram.
Our friends at BBO, who are super pumped to be returning to Sydney Bar Week 2021. And they want you to know: “We’re back peeps!!!”
