Last evening, cocktail enthusiasts gathered at Ninety9 bar on the rooftop of Protea Skyz Hotel in Naguru hill to witness the launch of the Kampala Cocktail Week after a one year break.
The event was thronged by lovers of the bottle bound together by the Uganda Waragi spirit that was the main ingredient of all the cocktails prepared, and tasted by fans.
The Kampala Cocktail week that will run for 10 days from November 27 to December 7 will have 30 participating bars that are given the taste of creating their special edition cocktail week menus that feature shooters, three long drinks and three craft cocktails sold at discounted prices of between Shs5000 to Shs15000.
“Ugandans are a vibrant, trendy and fun people who want to enjoy their drinks in different tasteful ways and cocktails deliver that experience. Cocktails infuse an extra sense of style and originality into social experiences and as a brand that is synonymous with Ugandan culture of celebration, Uganda Waragi is the perfect partner in this endeavour,” Said Agaba Tumusiime, Brand manager, Uganda Waragi.
The pre-party was hosted by rapper Timothy Code and DJ Ssesse did a great job to keep revellers that came through on their feet while tasting cocktails prepared during the face-offs.
