Liquorland Whitianga Team Picks for Summer
The crew at Liquorland Whitianga have put together their personal picks for the silly season – the drinks they actually take home, pour for friends and whānau, and keep chilled over the holidays. You’ll find them all at 1 Lee Street, Whitianga, proudly locally owned by Lance and Renata.
Lance’s Pick – Hunters MiruMiru Sparkling (2 for $50 in December)
Lance — runs the place (apparently)
“MiruMiru is our Christmas tradition. We open it every year with the whānau – it’s fresh, elegant, and feels like a celebration. It’s one of our favs. With 2 for $50 in December, it will be the best value sparkling on offer.
Jeremy’s Pick – Coromandel Brewing ‘Haheizy’ Tropical Haze IPA
Jeremy – our import (still calls jandals ‘thongs’)
“I’m a hop guy, so Haheizy is my go-to. Brewed just over the hill in Hahei, it’s bright, tropical and dangerously smooth. If someone wants a local craft beer with real flavour, this is the one. My other go-to is Salt Haze from Coromandel Town Brewery – another awesome local drop.”
Kim’s Pick – Remarkable Cream Egg Nog
Kim – will tell you she’s the hardest worker
“I like something festive, and this one is spot on. It’s creamy, smooth and tastes like dessert in a glass. Pour it over ice, add a little cinnamon, and you’re sorted.”
David’s Pick – Master of Mixes Margarita
David – real estate tycoon
“I’m all about simple. Add tequila, add ice, shake – done. It tastes like you’ve put in way more effort than you have. It also comes in Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito and Piña Colada, which are great when everyone wants something different. Perfect for summer.”
Nata’s Pick – Iconic Citra Spritz / Cosmo (Exclusive to us in Whitianga at $24.99)
Nata – chief resident customer chatter
“These are my new go-to this summer. They’re light, low sugar and really refreshing. The Citra Spritz has that orange-and-bitters flavour, and the Cosmo is cranberry-lime and super easy drinking. They’re exclusive to us in Whitianga, so it’s a fun one to share because no one else in town has them.”
Nata’s Bonus Favourite – Two Rivers ‘Isle of Beauty’ Rosé
“I’m a rosé girl in summer, and this is the one I reach for first. It’s dry, refreshing and just easy to drink. Put two bottles on the table and suddenly everyone’s asking where it came from.”
Liquorland Whitianga is 100% locally owned by Lance and Renata. This is our home and backing our community is a big part of who we are. We help sponsor raffles, prizes, events and anything else that needs a hand.
We’ve picked up a couple of trophies along the way, which we’re proud of – but the real win is seeing locals come back, bringing their whānau and mates with them.
Inside the store you’ll find friendly faces, good kōrero, and a team who care about helping people find something they’ll enjoy. Whether you’re stocking the fridge, sorting the BBQ, grabbing a gift, come and see us at 1 Lee Street.
Our door is always open – nau mai, haere mai.
