The Albert Dock Rum Festival returns this weekend with many of the bars hosting special events.
For the third year running, the dock’s bars, restaurants and shops will be celebrating their wide range of rum and offering food and music of the Caribbean.
At the centre of it all, The Smuggler’s Cove will be hosting a Chairman’s Reserve tasting session with their world record variety of flavoured rum.
The Panam are offering rum-flavoured cocktails while Revolucion de Cuba will be providing entertainment courtesy of samba dancers.
Revolution will have mojito boxes to help you on your merry way and The Holiday Inn Express will be having a fundraising rum-tasting session.
Revellers can purchase a special-edition Rum Festival leather eye patch from Leather Satchel Co, with a free rum shot for every purchase.
Over the weekend entertainment will be provided by The Phantasy Steel Band and the Batala Mesey samba drummers in various locations along the dock.
Emma Thompson from Smuggler’s Cove said: “The Dock is just the perfect location for a celebration like this.
“Once the gateway to the world, when imported rum barrels would be rolled through its warehouses, Albert Dock will pay homage to the drink that enriched Liverpool’s fortunes.”
