Quite frankly, with so much booze
flowing from Belvedere, St-Germain, London Dry Gin, Diplomatico Rum,
Storyteller lager, and wines care of NZLighter, most likely no one cared about
the weather anyways.
Having made my way through the vendors sampling the refreshing vodka cocktail from Belevedere; just sweet enough mojito from Diplomatico; and the crowd favourite, the St-Germain spritz, they were perfect concoctions for a garden party. As a keepsake, drinkers went home with a metal straw / stirring spoon from St-Germain.

The giddy feelings were balanced by
delicious eats from Eatertainment where I indulged in panko crusted tofu in a
colourful steam bao, fried chicken sandwiched between chive biscuits, and even
a poke bowl.
The beef brisket with veggie mash definitely
hit the spot and was my favourite bite of the evening. If there wasn’t so many
things to try, I would have definitely gone back for seconds!
Aside from more drinks, the evening
ended with beautiful desserts from The Tempered Room. At first, I was going for
a scoop of gelato from Love Gelato, but after hearing the gentlemen describe
the various tarts and puffs, I ended up trying the Love-in-idleness potion (a
light lavender crème brulee tart) and the fantastic Mad Hatter, a dessert
that’s magically fluffy and tasty.
The night wasn’t all about the food
and liberations. We also were serenaded by Honey Jam and Jesse Gold and watched
Passmore from ZimSculpt painstakingly turn a stone into an artform.
I also took way too many pictures
amongst all the beautiful flora and in the photobooth, a crazy RV from Betty
Loop.
As an attempt to burn off calories, we challenged each other to beanbag tossing in the garden games area. Plus, the endless supply of sparklers to end the evening left me feeling like a child.

My
friends and I left full and slightly tipsy, but not without a book of our
choice from the Penguin Random House. Thank you, it’s sure to come in handy at
the cottage weekend in August and remind me of a lovely evening partying in the
gardens.
