World Class Cocktail Week is but one week away. This celebration of all things shaken or stirred includes full on degustation dinners to short and sweet paired bites. Some events focus on old fashioneds, martinis and bloody marys. Some will give a general history lesson (for which you’ll actually want to stay awake) through the bottom of a glass. Maybe tipsy mini-golf will take your fancy?

The venues involved would make for arguably the greatest Melbourne bar crawl ever: The Beaufort,  Eau de Vie, The Kilburn, The Coppersmith Hotel, Doc Martin’s at Collins Quarter, Gogo Bar at Chin Chin, Thomas Olive at Saint Crispin, Half Moon, Mr Wow’s Emporium,  G&Tea Gin Garden, Black Pearl, New Gold Mountain, The Toff in Town, 1806, Mr Big Stuff, Golden Monkey, The Rum Diary, Cookie and Magic Mountain Saloon.

It’s all happening from the 25th – 31st May. Visit the World Class Cocktails Week site for full details.
