Worksmith | Stand 165

Beverage company Worksmith is known for making killer batched cocktails. Staffed by a team of hospitality experts (from talented and creative former bar staff to front of house and venue owners), they officially launched in 2017 but they’ve done a lot of growing since then – especially during the COVID lockdowns. “We now offer batched cocktails to venues who need great drinks for their guests, but quickly and with minimal training required for staff,” says Worksmith CEO and co-founder Michael Bascetta. “Worksmith also runs hospitality community events, talks and brings everyone together for the annual fun that is Melbourne Cocktail Festival.” The Worksmith team is looking forward to being among their peers at the 2023 AHG Expo, but they’re most excited about connecting with venues they can help develop great cocktail programmes with. “We’re also bringing our slushies to town which have been incredibly well received this summer as they debuted in venues,” adds Michael. “We’re even bringing our new Espresso Martini, which puts coffee at the forefront. Shake, strain and away you go.”
