The Lagos Cocktail Week (LCW) is here again!
The festival, first introduced in 2014 by cocktail enthusiast Lara
Rawa, CEO of Eventi Cocktails was created to showcase the best of Lagos
Cocktail Culture, with close similarity to cocktail weeks that hold in
major cities around the world. The weeklong event aims at providing
individuals, businesses, corporations and global brands a platform to
interact, connect and share brand value
There will be exhibitions, masterclasses, tastings amongst other side attractions and activities.
This festival can also be described as a gathering of cocktail
enthusiasts as beverage brands and lovers of great cocktails and
mocktails alike get to indulge their taste buds at designated hubs.
The maiden edition last year tagged, “Eventi Cocktail Weekend” was
held in April 2014 at the Soul Bar, Intercontinental Hotel Lagos. The
event saw more than 100 guests in attendance, with a ‘taste-off’
competition between the spirits brand represented. The highlight of the
event was the garnish show where our South African chef showed guests
and festival participants how to style a cocktail with garnish in shape
of a bird amongst many other great cocktail tricks. In attendance were
celebrities, Lagos State Government, event planners and also the
hospitality industry.
Speaking about this year’s festival, Lara Rawa, the CEO of Eventi
Cocktail and creator of the festival said: “This year, the event has
been renamed ‘Lagos Cocktail Week’ and will be different in various
ways; for one, we are switching up some of the competitions and
encouraging more of our guests to try their hands at making cocktails at
some of the different hubs”.
“We are also signing up partnering bars who will offer cocktails at a
discount to LCW wristband wearers. Anyone interested in taking
advantage of the promotions and offers happening during the week will
need to purchase wristbands from the official hub, The Milano Bar at the
Intercontinental Hotel.
A master-class will run for 2 days at the official hub. This is
targeted at consumers who are interested in developing their soft
skills. There will also be taste sessions at designated hubs to showcase
both global brands and indigenous Nigerian brands, with the closing
ceremony scheduled to hold on the evening of the 14th of November 2015
at the Intercontinental Hotel Terrace.
The event is proudly supported by; The Lagos State Ministry of
Tourism and Intergovernmental Relations, Intercontinental Hotel Lagos,
Patron Tequila, Luxeria Spirits, Cool FM and Bella Naija.
