Tell Us about yourself and what are your duties at Double Tree?

My name is Jerome I am the food and beverage manager at Double Tree and I manage the department
where we serve food and drinks.

What can we expect to find at Double Tree in the Drinks Section?

Since it’s an International hotel we do have variety of drinks which includes wines and all other types of
beverages I mean you will find beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and as you walk in the hotel you will
definitely get what you need and always we do have what you need so feel free when you come to
Double tree. We have Professional Barmen, actually who are ready at any time to make cocktails apart
from what we have in our menu. Name your cocktail and we will make it for you.

What is your bestselling Cocktail?

The Bestselling cocktail, we have variety of cocktails but the number of people who come here are internationals, people from different nationalities. Our cocktails are international cocktails and we have tried to incorporate Tanzanian cocktails so that we advertise Tanzania as well. So that people can come to know about the country. So we have this cocktail called Dawa, Dawa is a Tanzanian cocktail and Dawa is a Swahili word which means medicine and people love this cocktail because it has healthy benefits. The cocktail is made of honey, lime and added with a Tanzanian spirit which is called Konyagi, so it sells a lot at the bar. This is our pride as all the ingredients are found in Tanzania. But if you go for International cocktails all are available, call it a pina colada, you will find a very nice pina colada, we do sell mojito, mojito so far is our first moving cocktail and you know mojito also is a cocktail which has a healthy benefit, it incorporates a herb which is called mint and you know many people love mint so being a healthy cocktail people do love it. So mojito is the other cocktail that sells more.
