The ‘Casuarina Sling’ cocktail was created by Nimrod Baker who reins from Mullumbimby and has a great passion for Northern Rivers produce. Using locally produced spirits, liqueurs and fruit, Nimrod captured the true flavours of the plentiful region. Tamborine Mountain Distillery (TMD) is one of Australia's smallest and certainly most unique, distilleries. One of only a handful of privately owned distilleries in the country, Tamborine Mountain Distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and fruit plucked fresh from the mountain to produce an exquisite array of liqueurs, Schnapps, vodkas and spirits.
