Glasgow Cocktail Week (GCW) in partnership with Diageo World Class starts today (Monday, 23rdSeptember). Over 55 bartenders from across the globe will descend on Glasgow this week and battle it out to become the World Class 2019 Bartender of the Year, with the live final taking place on Thursday (26 September) in SWG3.
We will be featuring the winner on the cover of October’s DRAM.
To celebrate the World Class final, Glasgow Cocktail Week will shine the spotlight on Diageo’s Reserve portfolio, with ticket holders able to unlock over 150 signature cocktails across the city with their Glasgow Cocktail Week wristband during the festival (Monday 23rd until Sunday 29th September).
Over 40 venues have created at least two signature serves on exclusive GCW menus which guests can enjoy when they flash their GCW Wristband for only £5.
Some of the world’s leading bartenders will be mixing up drinks and sharing knowledge, with DJs providing live entertainment and street food from Platform will also be on offer. Non-alcoholic cocktails will also be part of the festival.
