Early Bird Special - Spirits of the Season: Christmas Cake Classics with Whisky Pete.
7pm - 21 Dec 24 - The Pole Space, Waverley, N.S.W.
Savour the Spirits of Christmas… A Midsummer Night's Masterclass…
In this unique Masterclass, complete with Ariel Entertainment , we’re pairing five unique spirits with festive dessert favourites — each one chosen to perfectly complement the rich, spiced flavours that make the holidays so delicious.
...that’ll have your bells jingling all the way home.
What You’ll Taste:
Whisky – A warm, smoky hug in a glass - no kilts required, but always welcome.
Brandy – The real star of your Christmas pudding (sorry, Grandma), bringing rich, fruity depth to every sip.
Cognac – As smooth as your best holiday party moves, and just as refined.
Sherry – Nutty, fruity, and alcohol-infused—kind of like Aunty Karen’s Christmas dinner conversation, but way more enjoyable.
Rum – Dark, spiced, and steeped in history, enjoyed by sailors and settlers alike, bringing festive warmth to any gathering.

What You’ll Learn:
Learn how to taste and savour spirits like a pro. Understanding the distillation process to picking out subtle flavor notes, you'll leave with a deeper knowledge of what’s in your glass.
We’ll explore how each spirit is crafted, its role in holiday traditions, and why certain flavours pair perfectly with festive treats.
By the end, you’ll have the confidence to spot quality spirits (and avoid the duds), plus some great stories to share at your next holiday gathering.
The Venue - From Pole Dance to North Pole
In Waverley, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, we’re taking over a pole dance studio to celebrate all things North Pole (rough joke, smoother spirits.) We’ll be transforming it into Santa’s Secret Lair.
With plush Chesterfields, wing-back chairs, a stunning wooden bar, and the fakest fireplace we can find. Like you’ve secured a permanent spot on Santa’s nice list.
The perks? We’ll have Ariel Entertainment on the night!
