The Laneway’s Pez takes national title!

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

The Laneway’s Perryn (Pez) Collier has won the Australian Gin Mare Mediterranean Inspirations title in Sydney against 8 other cocktail specialists from across the country. Part of a global competition, Pez will now fly the flag for Australia in Ibiza in September in the international finals – it’s one of the hottest cocktail competitions on the planet.

Only recently introduced to Australia, Gin Mare is the first super premium Mediterranean Gin, created using botanicals from the Mediterranean basin – Arbequina olives, thyme, rosemary and basil. The competition saw Pez create two cocktails – the first inspired by the concept of “Mare Nostrum” or the lifestyle and gastronomy of the Mediterranean; and the second, was his version of a Dirty Martini.

The national finals were held in Sydney at The Bar at the End of the Wharf, where four judges (including the Global Brand Ambassador for Gin Mare, the Chilean-born Jorje Balbnatin) made their decision after blind tastings. The other finalists were from Sydney (four of them), WA, Melbourne and one other from QLD. Pez had to make the two cocktails in 10 minutes. (Oh, and who was enjoying lunch while the judging was
happening – none other than Australian actress Cate Blanchet!!) He’s The Laneway’s main man and we are immensely proud of him, so come in and have a chat.

(Beer lovers take note: Pez will host The Laneway’s Beer Tasting event on July 31, he’ll show off a selection of local and international craft beers, matched back with shared plates from The Laneway’s new menu. $60 per person –book now!).
