From Monday October 6-Sunday October 12, the whole of London will be shaking, stirring and sipping in bars across the capital.  The London Cocktail Week includes a wide variety of pop ups, demonstrations, tastings and mixology masterclasses – celebrating spirits, wines and whiskies. Priced at £10 early bird tickets, or £15 on the day, wristbands will offer festival-goers the chance to sample £4 cocktails from more than 250 best bars across the capital, from noon-9pm. Tickets can be purchased online at londoncocktailweek.com

One of our favourite special events has to be the ‘4D’ Cocktail screening at The Gorringe Park, Tooting. Kick back in the boutique theatre found in the basement of this awesome pub and watch Tom Cruise at his finest as he shakes his way to success as a cocktail bar owner, learning lots of life lessons along the way, naturally.

Even better, the ‘4D’ element involves Gorringe Park’s very own Tom Cruise mixing up the drinks served in the movie, meaning you can sip on what Cruise and co are drinking – just be warned, the Red Eye is potent stuff. The question is, are you brave enough to do it with the raw egg? We weren’t…

Limited tickets for the exclusive Cocktail film showings are available during London Cocktail Week priced at £25 per person. A ticket includes four signature cocktails from the film.
