Edinburgh Cocktail Week returns to the capital this October, bringing Hollywood and rock royalty to Festival Square.
Running from Friday 2 to Sunday 11 October, the 10-day event sees over 120 city venues offering £6 signature cocktails to wristband holders.
The focal point of the festival, the Cocktail Village, will host 25 pop-up bars featuring major brands including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Teremana Tequila and The Rolling Stones’ Crossfire Rum.
Alongside the celebrity-owned spirits, the village will feature a champagne bar, live music, and street food from local vendors.
Operating from 12 noon to 11pm daily, and closing at 8pm on Sundays, the space will also showcase creations from Tito’s Vodka, Grey Goose Vodka, Whitebox Cocktails, and Moët & Chandon.
Local food vendors Dough La La, KO:TE, and The Carb Club will be on site serving street food dishes throughout the 10-day event.
New venues such as Understory and The Blossom Bar are joining established favourites like The Dome and Tigerlily to serve exclusive drinks.
For those looking for elevated options, a range of £9 prestige cocktails crafted by venues including Panda & Sons and Hey Palu will also be on offer.
Gary Anderson, Managing Director of Edinburgh Cocktail Week, said: “We’re excited to be back for our ninth year and are looking forward to bringing people together and showcasing and supporting Edinburgh’s world-recognised hospitality scene.”
Roddy Smith, Chief Executive of Essential Edinburgh, added: “Essential Edinburgh is delighted to support Edinburgh Cocktail Week for a sixth consecutive year. It is a firm highlight in the calendar for many of our local bars and residents.”
Wristbands are currently available online, providing unlimited access to the £6 and £9 cocktails at participating venues, as well as entry to the Cocktail Village.
