Angostura Takes Centre Stage at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Every August, the city of Edinburgh transforms into the world’s biggest stage. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe brings together comedy, theatre, music, and performance, drawing visitors from across the globe to celebrate creativity in all its forms. This year, amid the vibrant atmosphere, CVH Spirits and Angostura Rum offered festival-goers an equally memorable performance—one that unfolded in a glass.
At the heart of the action, the Angostura bar invited audiences to discover the craftsmanship and versatility of Trinidad and Tobago’s most celebrated spirit. The menu captured the essence of summer: the Passionfruit Daiquiri quickly became a runaway favourite, complemented by inventive rum cocktails, no- and low-alcohol options, and serves designed to highlight the balance of Angostura’s premium Caribbean rum.
But the experience extended beyond the bar. In collaboration with a local artisan bakery, guests were treated to a bespoke Angostura doughnut, infused with the brand’s iconic bitters. It was a delicious reminder that Angostura is more than a rum brand—it’s a flavour that enhances food as beautifully as it elevates cocktails.
For CVH Spirits, bringing Angostura to the Edinburgh International Festival was about more than drinks. It was about connection—introducing a global audience to the rich culture of Trinidad and Tobago and showcasing the quality of Angostura’s spirits in a setting known for creativity, diversity, and celebration.
Events such as the Fringe are shaping the future of premium rum in the UK, introducing Angostura to new audiences who might first know the brand for its world-famous bitters. By combining innovation, heritage, and creativity, CVH Spirits is proud to showcase Angostura as a premium choice for cocktail lovers, festival-goers, and spirits enthusiasts alike.
