It was a fantastic night full of chatting, eating and drinking and was enjoyed by all. Those who attended would agree that they were treated to culinary brilliance and delicious cocktail mixing. It was also great to have our excited contest winner Lisa Wood in attendence. Lisa wrote a fantastic post about her favourite Schweppes cocktail, and won a trip to Melbourne to attend the event! A big thank you goes to everyone who entered the contests. Be sure to keep your eye out for more contests like this in the very near future.
