The grand finale of Lagos Cocktail Week held on Friday, 14th of October 2016 at
the prestigious Wheatbaker
Hotel was a climatic end to a week-long cocktail fest. This
year’s Lagos Cocktail Week maintained the standard the event is known for, with
an array of activities such as master classes, mixologists brunch, a “team bar”
hop and discount on various cocktails.
Guests in attendance include Folly Coker, Hakeem
Muri Okunola, Olisa Adibua, Banke Meshida, Mrs Zaccheaus, Lola Maja, Toolz,
Gbemi Olateru- Olabegi, Onah Nwachukwu and more.
Different bars converged to showcase their best repertoire
of cocktails and presentations. Cocktail experts looked out for the best mix
and skill set, to which the competing bars did not fail to go beyond
expectations, as there were surprises, tricks, fresh mixes and discoveries.
The bar battle was a new idea aimed at creating a healthy
competition amongst mixologists to attract a form of camaraderie and brand
loyalty. Besides a free flow of cocktails, DJ Spinall treated guests to the
best music and kept everyone on their feet the whole night. The event ended
with guests having a taste of quality cocktails made from Johnnie Walker, Cîroc, Smirnoff Vodka and Baileys by Eventi Cocktails.
At the grand finale, the top prizes were won by the winning
bar and bartender of The Wheatbaker Hotel. The guests expressed their delight
at the event and a strong anticipation for next year’s edition.
This year’s edition of the Lagos Cocktail week has set the
standard for the cocktail industry in Lagos and has crowned Lagos the cocktail
capital of West Africa.
