Matariki is a special time in Aotearoa New Zealand — a season for reflection, connection, celebration and new beginnings. For cafés, restaurants, bars and hospitality venues, it is also the perfect time to refresh your drinks menu with something colourful, seasonal and memorable.

Meet Modoo’s new Asahi-Inspired Flavour Creations: colourful layered beer cocktails made with premium fruit juices, smooth creamy powders and eye-catching presentation.
From tropical Watermelon & Guava to bold Rich Choco, these drinks are designed to stand out on your menu, look great on social media and bring something fresh to your customers.
Best of all, they are simple for your team to prepare. With Modoo’s recommended recipes, your staff can create a finished drink in under 30 seconds, even during a busy dinner rush.
Why Seasonal Drinks Work for Matariki

A seasonal drink menu gives customers a reason to try something new without changing your entire food menu.
For licensed venues, Matariki is a great opportunity to promote limited-time drinks for dinner specials, combo deals, group dining, bar menus, hotpot pairings, BBQ pairings, café evening menus and seasonal social media promotions.
Colourful drinks are also highly visual, which makes them perfect for Instagram, menu posters and in-store promotions.
Asahi-Inspired Flavour Creations for NZ Venues
These drinks combine crisp beer with Modoo premium fruit flavours, creamy textures and bold colours. They are suitable for licensed hospitality venues looking for simple, high-impact drinks that floor staff can prepare quickly.
