Style, Music & Cocktails: Inside Gordon's Gin Madaraka Weekend Takeover

Gordon’s, the world’s No. 1 international gin brand, lit up Madaraka Weekend with two bold, flavour-packed celebrations stretching from the lush hills of Limuru to the breezy coast of Mombasa.

With a vibrant blend of music, style, and expertly crafted cocktails, Gordon’s delivered nothing short of unforgettable memories.

At the scenic Naiposha Gardens in Limuru, guests stepped into a tropical escape at the Caribbean Brunch, dressed in citrus-inspired fashion that mirrored the bold personality of Gordon’s. The event pulsed with energy from start to finish, powered by an electrifying 12-hour DJ lineup featuring Kaneda, ZJ Heno, Tadgue, Andie, KK, and Spinstar.

Meanwhile, down at the coast, the Cocoa Boutique Hotel in Mombasa hosted the Old School RNB Brunch, where nostalgia met modern luxury.

Set to a soundtrack of classic R&B and throwback hits from the ’90s and 2000s, guests soaked in the sunset while sipping bespoke Gordon’s cocktails and indulging in Mombasa's tastiest spread.

The vibe? Effortlessly cool—vibrantly Gordon’s.

“This Madaraka Weekend, we set out to bring the zest of life to every moment—and we delivered. From Limuru’s Caribbean vibes to Mombasa’s nostalgic beats, we created vibrant, premium experiences that connect with our consumers in real, cultural moments. Our partners helped us elevate every detail—from the setting to the soundtrack,” said Elizabeth Otieno, Brand Manager, Gordon’s.

Both events tapped into Kenya’s growing appetite for destination-led lifestyle experiences—where flavour, vibes and music converge—and the stellar turnout was proof that Gordon’s is the gin of choice for those who love to mix it up in style.
