Your recipe could take you to Sri Lanka
Let’s be clear.
This isn’t a tote bag.
It’s not a $200 voucher.
It’s not “tag a friend to win”.
This is four days in Sri Lanka for two. Living in luxury and mixing it up with curated, cocktail artistry experiences.
That’s what’s up for grabs.
All you need to do? Mix it up your way.
How to Take Part
Find the Elixir
Start the hunt. Pick up a bottle of Dilmah Elixir of Ceylon Tea at your nearest Coles, shop online at Coles, or order via the Dilmah webshop.
Follow Along
Follow @dilmahaustralia on Instagram and/or @dilmah.australia on TikTok
Show Us Your Mix
Use Elixir in a drink or dessert and upload a video (or image) that includes:
- The Elixir
- Your creation or discovery
Secret Hack:
Spotted Elixir behind the bar or a cafe? That counts too. Snap your drink, share it, and you’re in.
Tag It
Tag @DilmahAustralia on Instagram or @dilmah.australia on TikTok and include:
#MixItUpWithElixir and #(The Location You Found The Elixir) - i.e #ColesMarrickvile or #DilmahWebshop
What’s Up for Grabs
The Grand Prize
One winner will travel to Sri Lanka, with a guest.
You’ll stay in luxury and attend curated mixology events.
Runner-Up Prizes
Ten additional winners will each receive an exclusive Elixir Cocktail Hamper from Dilmah. This will include two bottles of Elixir, a cocktail shaker and two iced tea glasses.
There’s No Wrong Way to Mix It Up
There’s no rule book or formula to follow.
You don’t need a bar kit. You don’t need to be a bartender. You don’t even need to make the drink yourself.
Elixir was made to be played with and we want to see how you mix it up.
At home. At your favourite bar. In a glass, a dessert, or a moment worth capturing.
If Elixir’s in the frame, you’re in the running.
Check this out if you need inspiration.
