Every year wristband wearers are invited to vote for the ‘Best Cocktail of Birmingham Cocktail Weekend’ and this year was no different. The winner of the public vote receives a trophy and extreme levels of glory!

The vote was particularly close this year with some extraordinarily good cocktails being served up, but the venue that took the crown was Hotel du Vin with their delicious Rumhopper, a twist on a classic Grasshopper.

The serve was comprised of:

• 25ml Creme de Menthe Blanc
• 25ml Creme de Cacao
• 25ml Bacardi Spiced Rum
• 25ml Double Cream

Garnished with a mint leaf and sprinkles of chocolate

Hotel du Vin’s Deputy General Manager, Corabeth Pearsall commented, ‘We are delighted to be this year’s winners of Birmingham Cocktail Weekend!! A weekend that we always look forward to each year here at Hotel du Vin and have been a part of since the festival started! We can’t wait to be a part of it again next year!’
