On September 6th, we had the absolute pleasure of taking Authentic Batching Co. (ABC) on the road to Wyong Cup Day together with the whole crew of Norman Yates Distillery and Steinbok. We loaded up Gilly’s Mobile Cocktail Bar with ABC’s finest and headed for one of Australia’s most anticipated racing events, bringing fresh, ready-to-drink cocktails to thousands of attendees eager for a taste of something special.
The Wyong Cup Day Experience: A Perfect Venue for Cocktails and Community
Wyong Cup Day is more than just a race, it’s a social gathering that attracts thousands of attendees each year, bringing together racing fans, socialites and groups of friends looking to celebrate. This year, Authentic Batching Co. was a standout addition, providing a sophisticated yet accessible cocktail experience. With the lively Gilly’s mobile cocktail bar stationed right in the heart of the festivities, ABC seamlessly blended convenience and quality, offering ready-to-drink cocktails that let attendees enjoy the races without the wait.
The Stars of the Menu: Pornstar Martini & Bramble
The Pornstar Martini
The Pornstar Martini is an ABC favourite, capturing attention with its striking look and vibrant taste. This cocktail is a lively mix of passionfruit, vanilla and citrus, creating a flavour that’s both exotic and refreshing. Its fruity, slightly tart profile paired perfectly with the spirited atmosphere of Wyong Cup Day. Served straight from the mobile bar, the Pornstar Martini brought a tropical twist that encouraged guests to mingle and enjoy their drinks as they watched the action on the track.
The Bramble
The Bramble cocktail is another well-loved choice that brings a sophisticated berry flavour, perfect for race day. Known for its rich colour and depth, the Bramble combines gin, fresh blackberry, and lemon for a balanced, refreshing sip that’s subtly sweet and complex. This cocktail was a hit among those looking for a bold yet elegant drink to complement the day’s festivities.
Gilly’s Mobile Cocktail Bar: Bringing Quality Cocktails to Any Event
Gilly’s mobile bar provided an ideal setting for our cocktail offerings, equipped to serve event attendees quickly while maintaining quality. Designed for flexibility and efficiency, the mobile bar allowed our bartender to seamlessly deliver cocktails with minimal wait times. For attendees, this meant they could enjoy expertly crafted drinks without stepping away from the action on the track. The bar itself was also a visual highlight, adding to the event’s aesthetic appeal and acting as a social hub for cocktail lovers.
A Day Full of Cheers, Conversation, and Community
One of the best parts of the day was seeing how our cocktails helped bring people together. From friends snapping selfies with their Pornstar Martinis to couples sharing a Bramble, our drinks became conversation starters. The excitement around the bar grew with each race and our cocktails offered the perfect blend of refreshment and flavour to keep spirits high.
The Craft of Pre-Batched Cocktails: Quality in Every Sip
At ABC, we’re all about delivering exceptional cocktails with zero hassle. Each cocktail served that day, whether a fruity Martini or a berry-rich Bramble, was pre-batched to perfection. We pour our energy into crafting cocktails that taste as good as if they were made on the spot, so guests enjoy every sip without waiting around. Our approach allowed us to cater to the high demand without compromising on the quality that defines ABC.
Why ABC Cocktails Were Perfect for Wyong Cup Day
Wyong Cup Day is non-stop action, so convenience was key. With our pre-batched cocktails, guests could savour high-quality drinks without the usual wait times or complex bartending setups. For events like this, where people are always on the move, our pre-batched cocktails deliver an experience that’s as seamless as it is delicious. It’s cocktail culture made easy, letting people focus on what matters, the fun, the races and making memories.

Events like Wyong Cup Day are a perfect example of how we’re shaping Australia’s cocktail scene. We’re all about making premium cocktails accessible, bringing that crafted flavour to any event, big or small. From racetracks to private parties, ABC’s cocktails offer an experience that combines flavour, convenience and quality.
