Uganda Waragi on Thursday evening announced the launch of the country’s first and biggest cocktail festival dubbed the Pina Colada Weekend that will be held in Kampala between April 18 and 20, 2019. The festival is three days of mixing, shaking, creating, drinking, tasting and sipping on some of Uganda Waragi’s finest cocktails.
Uganda Waragi continues to revolutionize the cocktail culture in Uganda and will be hosting the three-phase event as a celebration of the fast-growing vibrant cocktail scene. The Pina Colada cocktail, after which the event has been named is a sweet mix of both Coconut juice and Pineapple rum, and is often served blended or shaken with ice. Uganda Waragi’s coconut and pineapple flavors lend themselves perfectly to cocktails and will take centre stage at the festival.
The event is expected to bring together some of Uganda’s leading bartenders and mixologists, Uganda Waragi lovers and cocktail enthusiasts.
Speaking during the launch, Uganda Waragi Brand Manager, Agaba Tumusiime noted that they are excited to celebrate the country’s first cocktail festival explaining that it will be the ultimate party for cocktail lovers.
