Sandals opens search for a cocktail
connoisseur to critique new poolside beverages - trading office
views for poolside hues
OCHO
RIOS, Jamaica, May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Shaking up an exclusive opportunity to sip, savor,
and certify cocktails for its new Poolside Sippers menu,
Sandals® Resorts is now accepting entries for the
exclusive role of Caribbean Cocktail Critic.
As part of an exciting pilot program, a discerning cocktail
connoisseur, and their plus one, will travel to Sandals' newest
Jamaican resort, Sandals Dunn's River, to closely collaborate with
a team of expert mixologists to test and refine a selection of
libations – from Island Punches to Skinny Cocktails and beyond.
Experimenting with natural and local ingredients such as sorrel,
soursop and coco water - and even a scotch bonnet or two! -
Sandals' Caribbean Cocktail Critic will flame, flare and frost
Sandals' cocktail creations. The successful applicant will
participate in a bespoke and interactive cocktail tasting
experience, covering classic and innovative sips alike, ultimately
shaping the final menu prior to its rollout across the brand's
portfolio of adults-only, all-inclusive Caribbean resorts.
The Caribbean Cocktail Critic will report to Sandals Dunn's
River with accommodations in a Tufa Terrace Skypool Suite –
complete with 24-hour butler service and an infinity edge pool
spanning the length of the suite's balcony for unobstructed
workplace views. A brisk, sunshine-filled stroll from the pool bar,
the Caribbean Cocktail Critic can look forward to a minute commute
lasting a mere five minutes - and yes, it can be done in
sandals!
"Punch is a quintessentially Caribbean tradition enjoyed under the sun
since as far back as the 1600s, beloved for its refreshing island
flavors like coconut, pineapple and even nutmeg for a hint of
spice," said Ricky DuQuesnay,
Corporate Director, Food & Beverage, at Sandals Resorts.
"Sandals' new Poolside Sippers offer an elevated
interpretation of these coveted classics – from the Jamaican
Planter's Punch to the Bahamian Goombay Smash – complemented by a
selection of Skinny and Zero Proof cocktails and even spirits in
their simplest form, mixed with coco water. The final garnish is
simply asking the guest – inspiring our search for a Caribbean
Cocktail Critic."

- A willingness to fully immerse in Jamaica's quintessentially Caribbean culture, Sandals style, in
Ocho Rios
- An eager teamplayer who can collaborate closely with Sandals'
expert mixologists
- A fondness of Jamaican Rum, but willing to try new spirits and
