I Hart Rum
Sip cocktails, sample spirits and stock up on tiki mugs at this one-day rum festival.
Overview
Just because you're not currently sitting on a beach in the Caribbean sipping pina coladas, doesn't mean you can't capture some of that big holiday energy right here at home. Rum-lovers will find themselves in cocktail heaven this month, when Whitehart hosts the next edition of its I Hart Rum festival.
On Sunday, February 20, the CBD container bar will be turning on the tropical vibes for a big day of rum and entertainment, held across two sessions. More than 25 distilleries will be showing off their creations for you to sample, totalling over 80 different varieties of rum.
There'll be plenty of cocktails being shaken and stirred, including treats from a sustainable pop-up bar hosted by Fitzroy's Ends and Means. You'll also be able to wet your whistle at Fever Tree's dedicated highball station, load up on knowledge at an Australian rum distillers panel and stock up on cocktailware at the tiki mug shop, all while listening to the afternoon's guest DJs.
And if you sip something you love, a pop-up bottle shop will be stocked with an array of rare and unique rums to take home.
