MELBOURNE CONVENTION EXHIBITION CENTRE LAUNCHES THE CURIOUS CABINET MOCKTAIL BAR
We’ve partnered with the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on a Mocktail Bar
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) has expanded its alcohol-free menu, featuring our award-winning Shrub Syrups. This exciting collaboration includes the debut of a bespoke The Curious Cabinet Mocktail Bar, dedicated to offering an innovative, inclusive beverage experience for all visitors.
The menu highlights our award winning Shrub Syrups, crafted from natural, simple ingredients and bursting with complex flavours that cater to diverse palates. From refreshing citrus blends to bold botanical infusions, these mixers deliver a refined drinking experience without the alcohol.
“Every year, MCEC welcomes millions of visitors from around the world. Providing a welcoming and inclusive experience is at the heart of what we do,” said Vai Sadavarte, Catering Operations Manager at MCEC.
“Partnering with The Curious Cabinet allows us to offer sophisticated, alcohol-free options and showcase high-quality local flavours that perfectly complement our unique culinary offerings.” The Curious Cabinet Mocktail Bar will feature a curated range of mocktails, each inspired by the rich and versatile flavours of Shrub Syrups. The bar aims to redefine non-alcoholic beverages by showcasing the same level of care and creativity often reserved for traditional cocktails.
Pia Cook, Founder of The Curious Cabinet, expressed her excitement about the partnership:
“At The Curious Cabinet, we believe that alcohol-free options should never feel like an afterthought. This collaboration with MCEC allows us to share the joy of sophisticated, handcrafted beverages with a broader audience. We’re thrilled to be part of this movement towards greater inclusivity in hospitality.”
This initiative aligns with MCEC’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and supporting local businesses. The Curious Cabinet’s syrups are proudly made in Geelong, further strengthening MCEC’s focus on showcasing the best of local talent and produce.
The Curious Cabinet Mocktail Bar is now available to book at MCEC events, and the alcohol-free menu is available across a range of functions and conferences hosted at the venue. See here for details.
