Join us for the launch of our brand-new Cocktail Making Workshop on Saturday, 13th December — a one-hour sneak peek into the full experience we’ve been shaking up behind the scenes.

Get ready to shake, stir, and sip your way through an interactive mini-masterclass where you’ll get hands-on with the tools, techniques, and flavours of cocktail craft.

Perfect for a sunny Queenstown summer’s day — come mix, mingle, and unleash your inner mixologist!

Grab your spot and let’s make some magic in a glass. 🍋✨

🎁 Give the Gift of… Gin! 🍸✨

Looking for a Christmas present that actually blows people away? Treat someone to a hands-on 3-hour gin distilling experience at Cargo Collective — the perfect blend of creativity, flavour, and a whole lot of fun.

They’ll dive into the world of botanicals, learn the wild (and wonderful) history of gin, and craft their very own unique recipe — all guided by our expert team.

And because good things come in tasty packages, we’re keeping them fuelled with snacks and a curated gin tasting board throughout the session. 😍

To top it all off, they’ll design a signature cocktail inspired by their creation and take home a personalised 250ml or 500ml bottle of their custom gin.

📅 Gift vouchers available now on our website — and the lucky recipient can book whatever date suits them!

A Christmas gift they’ll remember long after the last sip. 🎄🍸
