Added to the mix is The BACARDÍ Mixology Theatre and Cocktail Lounge, which will showcase the art of craft bartendering, while delivering the finest cocktails to festival-goers.

Inspired by The BACARDÍ Legacy Cocktail Competition, which gathers South Africa’s best bartenders and pits them against each other in a glamorous showdown of creativity and talent in craft bartendering. These magic mixologists create original recipes specifically for the competition, highlighting either BACARDÍ Superior rum or BACARDÍ Carta Oro Rum as the primary spirit.

In the theatre, the public will have the opportunity to be educated in this liquid science, with an on-hand knowledgeable MC as well as with craft cocktail classes.

The lounge area offers a relaxing space where visitors can socialise with friends while trying the delicious Bacardi cocktails. The place-to-be to get off (or on) your feet, there will be a top DJ mixing great tunes, while the bartenders do some mixing of their own.

But just what is mixology? This term has become more commonly used and refers to a skill set and higher study of mixing cocktails and drinks. The mixologist’s focus is ‘on the art and craft of mixing cocktails, studying the classics, concocting new and exotic drinks, experimenting with lesser known distilled spirits and mixers, and, overall, pushing the limits of classic bartending’.

Get stirred at The BACARDÍ Mixology Theatre and Cocktail Lounge into a new way of thinking, and drinking.
