The fourth edition of Cocktail Week Fall-Winter starts this Friday evening in locations around Mexico City. Part of a global initiative, the week promotes fine drinking and the exploration of new social spaces around the city. This year, you’ll find Cocktail Week events in the top restaurants and bars of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.

A combination of the most creative mixologists, bartenders, celebrities and tastemakers will create new drinking experiences in some of the most innovative and cutting-edge bars and restaurants in Mexico City. This week is not solely dedicated to consumption. From lessons on ingredients to cocktail Master Classes, there will be countless opportunities for you to learn about Mexico’s alcohol tradition and make some of the city’s signature cocktails along with the world’s top bartenders and mixologists.
