Where: London, UK
When: 8 - 14 October 2012
This year London Cocktail Week, hailed as the biggest drinks festival in the UK, is held at Seven Dials where it will be transforming the streets of Covent Garden into a veritable nirvana for anybody who appreciates mixology. Once you have collected your wristband (£4 for pre-registration and £10 once the festival starts), you can set off to sample new products, visit pop-up bars and wander between masterclasses and martinis. Scores of bars across the capital will be joining in the fun by offering £4 cocktails throughout week, with vintage Routemaster buses giving free rides to save revellers from wobbly legs.
