Eight Years of BATCHED

A Five-Course Cocktail Degustation

Join us on 1 August 2026 at the Grand Millennium Auckland for an unforgettable evening of flavour discovery, celebration and giving back.

As one of the first events of Auckland Restaurant Month, the BATCHED 8th Birthday Ball invites guests on a one-night-only journey of flavour discovery, pairing exceptional cocktails and canapés with exclusive new releases, live entertainment, and support for Save the Kiwi.

This year marks a significant milestone as BATCHED celebrates its 8th birthday with the launch of Jamaretto Sour, the 8th cocktail in our 725ml bottle collection. The number 8 is traditionally associated with prosperity, abundance and good fortune, making it the perfect occasion to raise a glass to what comes next.

Embark on a five-course cocktail degustation, where each course showcases a unique BATCHED cocktail expertly paired with a complementary canapé. Designed as a progressive tasting journey, guests will explore five distinctive serves, uncovering the craftsmanship, ingredients, and stories behind the BATCHED range.

The evening will feature the exclusive launch of BATCHED Jamaretto Sour, alongside a first look at the future of the brand with a preview of the upcoming BATCHED 0% range.

Guests will be among the first to experience Goldenglow™, our unique alcohol-free blend crafted with botanicals and natural extracts to recreate the warmth, body and layered complexity of a full-strength cocktail, without the alcohol.

To ensure all guests can enjoy the experience, a premium grazing board will be available throughout the evening, offering additional options for those with dietary requirements, food intolerances, or anyone wanting a little extra indulgence alongside the degustation.

More than a ball, this is a one-night-only cocktail degustation celebrating eight years of BATCHED. Be among the first to taste our newest release, Jamaretto Sour, explore expertly curated cocktail and canapé pairings, and enjoy an exclusive preview of the upcoming BATCHED 0% range powered by Goldenglow™. A milestone celebration eight years in the making, shared with fellow cocktail lovers and supporters of Save the Kiwi.

The celebration continues with live music from Serene from 6.30pm–9.30pm, plus a silent charity auction supporting Save the Kiwi, helping protect one of New Zealand's most treasured native species.

Five cocktails. Five pairings. The launch of Jamaretto Sour. An exclusive preview of BATCHED 0%. One unforgettable journey through the world of BATCHED.
