As well as the London leg, which took place in October, with another occurring in the summer, Cocktails in the City has carved a brand for itself in Leeds, Manchester, Los Angeles, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
Quote from organiser: “The aim of Cocktails in the City is to give our guests a taste of the cities finest bars under one roof. Hosting the event at One Marylebone was the perfect backdrop for such an experience and the different ways that each bar approached their set up made for a really interesting and diverse guest experience. We shook up over 11,000 cocktails over three nights and it’s fair to say a great time was had by all!”
