The Entrepreneurial Spirit is Alive & Well At Utech's School of Tourism & Hospitality Management!
At this year’s SHTM Day, the students & their advisors pulled out all the stops to
present creative & unique products & services. We focused on the culinary side of things and here’s what we
uncovered!

Lemon Grass - Sparkling Water, Cooking Oil, Coconut Drops, Liqueur & Truffles made with Lemon Grass
 Damone Davis, Samantha Simms, Brian Sterling, Samantha Thompson. Nicholas Lewis
Five UTech Students intrigued with the idea of exploring & producing culinary products from Lemon Grass. Products being produced under the brand Lemon Pride include a Lemon Grass Sparkling Water which is a sweet fizzy sparkling water infused with lemon grass; Lemon Grass Oil for cooking which they figure is a healthier way to prepare your meals; the Lemon Grass Liqueur which is an alcoholic liquid flavoured & scented with lemon grass and ideal for making cocktails as well as lemon grass coconut drops & truffles. The group does not plan to stop there and are already experimenting with other products. |
Cocoa - Vodka Infused Chocolate Truffles & Chocolate Infused Vodka
The trio of Nicolette Ashman, Andrew Grant & Brittany Blackwood focused on showcasing cocoa's versatility by creating Vodka Infused Chocolate Truffles & the Masanya Chocolate Infused Vodka - both an innovative twist on an old favourite! A first in Jamaica!
TRUFFLE FLAVOURS: Dark Chocolate | Coconut | Strawberry
Sweet Potato - 100% Instant Sweet Potato Baby FormulaAs we went on to discover this was but just the tip of the iceberg. How about an Instant Baby Formula made from 100% Sweet Potatoes? Talk about eating what we grow!
Joanne Durand says her OKKIDS instant formula is a nutritious, easily digestable treat for infants. Ideal as a complementary food for infants from six months and older.
