From TimeOut – 10 April 2024
How many gin-loving Capetonians does it take to claim a Guinness World Record for drinking gin at the same time, in the same place? 423, apparently…
It was a wild and stormy weekend in Cape Town, but that didn’t scare away the hundreds of gin lovers who flocked to Muizenberg’s Gember Distillery on Saturday, April 6, for the Cape Cheers Gin Festival.
And while there was music, food, fun times and plenty of gin, the punters were also there on business: bagging a Guinness World record for drinking gin!
With musicians including Sunset Sweatshop and Sons of Selassie on stage to get the crowd in the swing of things, 12.50 pm saw things take a serious turn as Guinness World Records adjudicator Mbali Nkosi took the stage to start the record attempt.
