Mixology Circus
A 100% Beer&Food Attraction project
Mixology Circus, now in its second edition, sprang from the desire to promote the art of mixing par excellence, because cocktails must be tasted: the palate becomes key to capturing the sensations, emotions and memories they trigger.
A unique opportunity to meet the best Italian and international bartenders who bring their mixing style to Rimini and share their experience, knowledge and the love they put into each glass to intoxicate our senses.
Mixology Circus is a 100% Beer&Food Attraction project, organised in partnership with Samuele Ambrosi, cocktail bar developer, mixologist, official AIBES trainer, world champion and a leading expert in gin.

2024 news: Spirits Corner
An exhibition area, adjacent to the Mixology Circus, which sees the participation of prestigious and distinctive labels, within which to explore, taste and discover the essence of two of the most beloved spirits in the world: Gin and Whisky.
From sweet and rich flavors to spicy and aromatic scents, each sip tells a different story that guides you through a journey full of discovery and adventure.
THE LABELS
The art can be learned
In addition, over the 3 days of the show, the area will play host to high-level masterclasses by experts in the sector. It is essential to keep up with the times and the changing key players: the customer is no longer the sole focus, there is also the cocktail, not only for its final taste, but above all for its preparation, which becomes a spectacle and one that should be showcased.
