Summer might be over but Sydney is a city that likes to hold onto the sunny times. Cue the Sugarcane Sunday Rum Festival, an afternoon of island vibes down at Customs House Bar, complete with tiki cocktails, tropical tunes and hibiscus-print shirts.
There will be over 100 rums on offer for tasting in a pop-up market, so you can really get to know the sugarcane spirit, plus you can buy tiki mugs and tropical shoirts to deck out your home bar. Or if you like it when someone else makes the drinks, Lost Luau's team will be running a cocktail bar serving holiday classics like a Daiquiri, Mai Tai and Piña Coladas.
There is a masterclass on the future of Australian rum for those who like a deep dive on a subject, plus a cocktail competition and a guided lesson on how to make spiced rum at home.
