Dream Job Alert: Sandals Resorts Seeks Caribbean Cocktail Critic
07.05.2024 - 18:49 / travelpulse.com / Laurie Baratti
Caribbean all-inclusive leader Sandals Resorts has concocted a one-of-a-kind gig for one lucky new hire who will get to work sampling and fine-tuning cocktails for its new Poolside Sippers menu. In the exclusive role of Caribbean Cocktail Critic, this person will be part of a stirring pilot program at the company’s newest Jamaican resort, Sandals Dunn’s River.
One lucky individual will be selected to jet off to the enchanting property, accompanied by their plus one, where they will collaborate closely with Sandals’ team of expert mixologists to test and refine an array of tempting libations, ranging from Island Punches to Skinny Cocktails, and beyond.
The chosen Critic will evaluate current recipes and experiment with a variety of such natural and locally grown ingredients as sorrel, soursop, coco water and even a smidge of scotch bonnet pepper, to create a refreshing set of riveting new cocktails.
As part of their duties, this individual will take part in a custom, interactive cocktail-tasting experience in which they’ll explore both classic and cutting-edge flavors. The successful applicant’s input amid this process will play a pivotal role in shaping the final menu, which will afterward be rolled out across Sandals' portfolio of adults-only Caribbean resorts.
To successfully perform their role, the Caribbean Cocktail Critic will report to Sandals Dunn's River and occupy accommodations in a lavish Tufa Terrace Skypool Suite, complete with 24-hour butler service and an infinity-edge pool that runs along the length of the balcony. With the pool bar just a short, sundrenched stroll away, the Cocktail Critic will enjoy the world’s best commute that lasts about five minutes and can be performed in flip-flops.
"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."
Applications for this enviable position are being accepted through 11:59 p.m. EST on June 5, 2024, and interested parties can enter their submissions online here.
