Emerging Writers' Festival 2023

The Moat is thrilled to support this year’s Emerging Writers’ Festival (EWF), Australia’s premier festival for new and emerging writers.

To celebrate the Festival’s 20th anniversary, we’ve created two exclusive drinks:

The First Word: a heady concoction of gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and fresh lime juice;
Sweet Nothing: a non-alcoholic blend of Lyre’s Italian Orange, apple juice, elderflower and basil.

Visit us during the Festival, from 14 to 24 June, to try one or both of these delicious drops.
