It was an absolute pleasure to be a sponsor and be part of the Estia Festival in Hobart a few weeks back and share the Koumozo Ouzo experience with so many of you. As someone who has been part of the hospitality industry for three decades, it’s always wonderful to talk about food and wine with people. But sharing my Koumozo journey with record breaking attendees on that special day took things to whole new level. Everyone’s enthusiasm made my day; from those who sipped gently or knocked back their shot (I’m looking at you!), all were surprised by how smooth-tasting it was! Watching everyone’s faces as they tried our Koumozo was priceless and we were so pleased to receive such wonderful feedback. What a joyful time together – thank you.
In preparation for Estia, I knew it was going to be a tough gig converting those skeptics but we nailed it. Those wild trips to Greece had left some with less than pleasant ouzo memories (we’ve all had them) – until they sipped our Koumozo. Its smoothness and complex flavors made it easy and enjoyable for them to drink. Also judged by the Greeks (who are my toughest customers😅), they were equally as impressed by the all important aniseed kick, the smoothness and how clean it was on the palate with no aftertaste. Let’s say we restored faith in ouzo drinking.
Koumozo Batch #7
If you’re looking for something truly extraordinary, then look no further than our latest Koumozo Ouzo- Aniseed Aperitif. Met with tremendous enthusiasm, in a matter of hours the batch nearly sold out. We do have limited quantities of Batch #7 still available online. Get yours while you can to experience why locals love it so much!
Our Elaia Bar Manager, Daniel, created a cocktail masterpiece that had everyone talking – the Estia Cocktail. You’re sure to be pleased with its blend of Koumozo Ouzo and Grenadine (equal parts) balanced with refreshing lemonade served over ice for an exquisite mix of sophisticated pomengranate flavors. Now available at our Launceston restaurant Elaia or try it at home.
Till we see you again at our next Festival gig, Stin Igia Mas!
