1st to 6th July 2025
Como Lake Cocktail Week, a luxury event dedicated to the high mixology. From 1st to 6th July a whole week dedicated to drinking, less but better and responsibly, enhancing quality ingredients and telling the secrets of bartenders and chefs in the most beautiful locations on Lake Como.
The aim of this fifth edition is to grow into an elegant and welcoming multi-sensory itinerary for an audience of international and high-level experts.

Signature Cocktails
Bartenders taking part in Como Lake Cocktail Week will be asked to create a brand new signature cocktail inspired by the theme “Taste”, which can only be served from 1st of July. The cocktail can also be paired with a dish, finger food, sweet or savory canapé created by the chef.

Sixth Edition Theme
The sixth edition of Como Lake Cocktail Week centers on the theme “Taste!”, offering a multisensory journey into the world of mixology. It focuses on the perfect balance of the five fundamental tastes — sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami — and invites bartenders to experiment with aromas, textures, colors, and transparency to create immersive, emotional tasting experiences.
The event also highlights the synergy between the kitchen and the bar, emphasizing how culinary techniques, even outside of Michelin-starred contexts, can enhance cocktails and open new creative possibilities. Both chefs and bartenders will take center stage in a series of collaborative events.

The aim of the festival is to educate people to drink responsibly and quality, as well as strengthen synergies in the area through creativity and experimentation that comes to life behind the bar counter.
Get ready to taste the unexpected!
Drink less,
Drink better
