Served Chilled. platform to life, inviting guests to experience the soulful taste of Amarula simply served chilled over ice.<br \/>\nThe occasion marked the beginning of Amarula\u2019s summer season and a shift in how the brand is<br \/>\nshowing up for warmer, more social occasions. Rooted in the marula fruit and the people and<br \/>\ncommunities behind its harvest, Amarula\u2019s story has always been one of African provenance,<br \/>\ncraft and connection. At Nirox, that story found a natural contemporary expression through live<br \/>\nmusic, art, nature and shared experience.<br \/>\nRather than competing with its surroundings, Amarula became part of the rhythm of the day.<br \/>\nGuests gathered across Nirox\u2019s open-air landscape, enjoying chilled Amarula between live<br \/>\nperformances and moments spent together under the spring sun.<br \/>\nThat celebration of African creativity extended beyond the music. Amarula\u2019s presence<br \/>\nincorporated work by contemporary African makers including Modern Gesture, Louise D\u00e9cor<br \/>\nand Design and Oneofeach,\u00a0bringing locally made design and craft into the experience. \u201cThrough<br \/>\nthese collaborations, the brand is building a more contemporary expression of African craft; one<br \/>\nthat champions the hands, ideas and creative talent shaping modern African design.\u201d Said Diana<br \/>\nGeorge of Lerato Designs lead curator on Amarula Craft Partners.<br \/>\n\u201cAmarula has always been made with soul; from the marula fruit and the communities who<br \/>\nharvest it to the care and craft that go into every bottle. At Nirox, we were able to extend that<br \/>\nstory beyond the liquid, celebrating the incredible creative talent coming out of Africa today.<br \/>\nAnd as we head into summer, we\u2019re inviting people to rediscover just how beautifully Amarula<br \/>\ncan be enjoyed chilled. Surrounded by music, creativity and good company.\u201d<br \/>\nSoul Made. Served Chilled. brings together two sides of the Amarula story: the depth and<br \/>\nrichness behind how it is made, and the simple pleasure of how it is enjoyed.<br \/>\nBecause some things are made slowly, with soul and best served chilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As spring gave way to warmer days in the Cradle of Humankind, Amarula joined music<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
