Sunquick-slithm conduct mocktail competition

Sunquick partnered with Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (SLITHM) to conduct the Mocktail competition, participated by the students of the Colombo Hotel School and provincial schools.

The contestants showcased the talents under two categories - Classical Innovative Mocktail and Flaring Mocktail. The uniqueness of the competition was that each and every competitor prepared the Mocktail with Sunquick as the base ingredient.

Describing the project as “a new learning process for Sunquick fans”, C.W. Mackie PLC Executive Director Mangala Perera said that the company was happy to partner with National Hotel School for projects at a time when the tourism industry is enjoying a massive growth, resulting from post-war optimism and increase in investor confidence and tourist arrivals.

I am sure all the contestants of the Mocktail competition have come up with innovative recipes and multiple applications of the brand,” he added at the Final award ceremony at the National Hotel School Auditorium.
