Introducing Devine’s McLaren F1 Papaya Pit-Stop cocktail at Bomba Bar

One of Melbourne’s finest bartenders, Cara Devine at Bomba Bar in Chinatown, has crafted a unique cocktail, the Papaya Pit-Stop, in honour of Melbourne local Oscar Piastri, racing in his first Formula One Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2023. Rev your engines and get down there, as it's available for one week only!

YouTuber, venue manager, and named in the Top 25 Bartenders Australia, Cara Devine has crafted the ultimate ode to McLaren Formula 1 Team’s presence in the city and its multi-year partnership debut with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. 

The Papaya Pit-Stop is a fresh take on a modern classic - using local ingredients and inspired by the McLaren Formula 1 team's papaya colours, this shaken cocktail takes on orange tones from its fresh and fruity ingredients, whilst a black racing stripe made from burnt papaya adds a striking effect to its appearance - a nod to its Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey base. 

Commenting on her latest cocktail creation, Cara Devine said, “The Papaya Pit-Stop was crafted using fresh fruits from local producers to create a unique and delicious taste. In flavour, it is fruity, aromatic, fresh and zesty. The orange colour comes from the fusion of papaya, rosé vermouth and classic Jack Daniel’s No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. To finish off this bold drinking experience, it’s infused with bittersweet and spicy flavours, representing the heat and excitement of the racetrack.” 

"There's always such a buzz in Melbourne ahead of the race, and we hope Formula 1 fans enjoy trying it out as we cheer for one of our own taking to the track at Albert Park for the first time!"

Ale Alvarez, Senior Brand Manager at Jack Daniel’s Australia, commented on the unique cocktail creation and the brand’s partnership with McLaren Formula 1 Team, “We’re thrilled to be working with Cara Devine and Bomba Bar to create this bespoke serve. The Papaya Pit-Stop is a unique way for Melburnians and those visiting the city to join in and toast the McLaren Formula 1 Team ahead of the big weekend!”

“For us at Jack Daniel’s, it’s a truly a momentous occasion debuting our partnership with McLaren Formula 1 Team this race weekend - and we’re pulling out all stops both on and off the circuit. We’re committed to using this global activation platform to champion responsible drinking.”

In addition to the limited-edition Papaya Pit-Stop, McLaren Formula 1 Team and Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey have teamed up with McLaren's own racing drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, to create two unique non-alcoholic cocktails called Piastri’s Papaya Punch and Lando’s Crush.
