Gin & Rum line-up
Gin is more popular than ever and rum is on the rise. This was, according to co-organizer of the Gin & Rum Festival, Rick van Bezooijen, reason enough to ‘mix’ the spirits this year in the line-up of the drink festival: ” With our festival we are now – in addition to the gin drinker – new, ever-growing target group: the rum drinker. Rum owes its rise in popularity to its versatility; think of the mix, in cocktails or just a glass of pure rum with an ice cube. We notice that the story behind gin and rum is becoming increasingly important. For that reason, there are special local and niche brands present at our festivals that are both a feast for the mouth and an eye. ”
Like a virgin mojito
As the name suggests, you come to the Gin & Rum festival for the main characters: gin and rum. Of course there is also thought of the “Bob” and the visitors who prefer to experience this day without alcohol. There is a choice of various virgin cocktails, cocktail boards and street food. Enough of the distillate dictionary? You can go for a dance in the silent disco where the danceable tunes sound through the headphones. The regular tickets are available online for 26 euros including booking costs.
