#  What &amp; Where To Drink At London Cocktail Week  


It’s one of the booziest weeks in the capital’s calendar – London Cocktail Week. But with more than 300 bars taking part, it’s hard to know where to start. Here, we’ve rounded up 21 of the best events, bars and cocktails to test-drive, where every drink is just £6 a pop with a wristband. Apologies in advance for any foggy heads…

## The Grand Takeover: Le Syndicat x ECC 

Innovative Parisian bar Le Syndicat will take over Experimental Cocktail Club on 2nd and 4th October. Famous for its French-only spirits menu, urban vibe and passionate young team, the takeover at ECC will bring together the best of Parisian and London mixology, blending passion, expertise and lots of Grand Marnier, to create four perfectly crafted cocktails. The bespoke menu, created by Le Syndicat head bartender Aris Makris, will be served in ECC’s signature surroundings: a low-key urban vibe complete with retro hip-hop playlists.

 13a Gerrard Street, Soho, W1D 5PS; 2nd and 4th October

## Foragers Table

The Botanist Gin is inviting guests to reconnect with nature with an innovative three-course dining experience, inspired by urban foraging and created by some of London’s top chefs and bartenders. Curated by Craig Grozier, founder of Scottish dining experience Fallachan and in-house chef for The Botanist Gin, the experience seeks to reconnect people with nature to bring to life the ethos behind the spirit. Each dish will be expertly paired with a cocktail created by Marcis Dzelzainis, drinks curator at Sager + Wilde; Rosey Mitchell, the award-winning bartender from Three Sheets; and Robin Honhold from The Lyan Group.

The Shoreditch Treehouse, Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, EC2A 3PB; 3rd-5th October
