Join the booze party in a week dedicated to drinking (no joke). But to make the most of the weekend make sure you get your wristband. Wristbands are on sale for £15 across several bars around London including, Ketel One Hub and Tanqueray Hub at Hixter Bar in Liverpool Street.
The best part? Your wristband will entitle you to £4 specialty cocktails ALL night across 200 venues. The wristbands also entitle you to self-guided tours and the opportunity to mingle in some of the capital’s hottest parties and pop-up events this week.
Ketel One Hub will be transforming their grounds into a health conscious farmer’s market brimming with herbs, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Which makes it the perfect locality to get familiar with an array of ingredients to create your very own bespoke (ahem, healthy dare I say) vodka cocktail. But if you’re feeling a little lost, don’t worry expert mixologist and Brand Amassador, Dave Beatty will be on hand to guide you through the mix.
Now here's where else you need to be...
Tanqueray No. Ten Hub - Hixter, Devonshire Square
If you’re an old soul, head East! Tanqueray Hub at Hixter City will give you a taste of the glamorous past of gin with live bands and flapper dancers. Pop by after work for their exclusive gin and food pairing dinners or join other festival-goers and Tanqueray’s Brand Ambassador, Tim Homewood in a grand masterclass uncovering the history of gin and enjoying all the gin jaunts. Entry and master-classes are free. What could be better?
Paris in London with Grand Marnier - Cecil’s, London Bridge
If Paris holds a special place in your heart, this is the place to be. Not only will this place be bustling with some of Paris’ most charming bartenders, but Grand Marnier’s Brand Ambassador, Julien LaFond will be on hand on selected nights throughout the week to tell you everything you need to know about the sweet orange liqueur. Don’t miss out on the lush infused Crêpes Suzettes they’re serving up either! The venue oozes style, sophistication and of course, the drinks are flowing. Entry is free.
Don Julio Mexican Street Festival - Translate Bar, Kingsland Road
