Bede emphasizes the importance of local flavors, particularly gnamakou, in the cocktail scene of Abidjan, showcasing an evolution in the city’s beverage culture.
The cocktail week in Abidjan not only celebrates mixology but also attempts to restore appreciation for traditional African spirits, which have been marginalized historically.
According to Bede, the cocktail week was a strategic response to the cultural shift, encouraging the revival of local ingredients and fostering community engagement.
The festival serves as a platform to challenge stereotypes surrounding African beverages, advocating for a rebranding that highlights their quality and cultural significance.
