First-class gin tasting
AWARD-winning distillery Wolf Lane will join forces with the Driftwood Bar team at Lizard Island in April in a friendly takeover, promising a thirst-quenching weekend, including delicious local cocktails, tastings and masterclasses for guests at the resort.
The Cairns-based artisanal distillery supplies the beachside Driftwood Bar with its popular Wolf Lane Tropical Gin, crafted in consultation with the Lizard Island culinary team to complement the resort’s fresh menus and tropical island vibes.
Guests staying at Lizard Island over the weekend of April 20-22 this year will be offered a bonus menu of Wolf Lane gin-based culinary experiences:
Saturday April 20: Aperitivo hour on the beach with Wolf Lane’s newly released grapefruit aperitif
Sunday April 21: Lunch in the Salt Water Restaurant with matched cocktails by Wolf Lane
Sunday April 21: Gin Masterclass with the distillers and founders of Wolf Lane Distillery.
Sam Kennis, who co-owns Wolf Lane Distillery, said the small batch distilled Tropical Gin was crafted in partnership with the food and beverage team at Lizard Island with the idea of creating a tropical-style gin that was refreshing and unique to tropical north Queensland.
“Our Wolf Lane Tropical Gin features botanicals sourced from the Atherton Tablelands as well as tropical fruit flavours like grapefruit, lime and mango,” he said. “We like to serve it over ice with soda and a garnish of grapefruit.
“Guests on the gin weekend will also be among the first to sample the latest addition to our growing range of tropical spirits as we reveal our new grapefruit aperitif.”
Guests who take part in the weekend takeover will also take home their very own bottle of Lizard Island’s signature Wolf Lane Tropical Gin.
