The world’s largest cocktail festival returns with some seriously affordable sampling opportunities in 2025. The event is spread over hundreds of participating bars across London including some of the city’s finest: Discount Suit Company, Nine Lives, Mr Fogg’s, Callooh Callay, Satan’s Whiskers, Nightjar, Amaro Bar and one of our absolute faves, Happiness Forgets.
Each bar must put forward at least one £9.00 signature cocktail that they feel represents who they are. Bars can offer more than one signature cocktail, and/or a £6.00 non-alcoholic cocktail, a £12.00 Champagne cocktail or – new and bang on-trend for 2025 – a £6.00 tiny cocktail too.
Wristbands are available online now and get you £9.00 signature cocktails in all participating bars, so it’s a pretty sweet deal. Some bars will limit you to just one of their signature cocktails per visit to encourage you to try their other creations and others won’t have a limit (within reason!) but all the info you need will be in a nifty little booklet you get with your wristband.
Expect pre-festival parties, masterclasses from world-class mixologists, special menus and immersive events; the full timetable and line-up will be available and updated on the website from September 2025.
Cheapo Top Tip: get together with your mates, buy wristbands in a bundle and get six for the price of five.
Organisers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.-
