Signature Cocktails

Bartenders taking part in Como Lake Cocktail Week will be asked to create a brand new signature cocktail inspired by the theme “Stories from a Book.”, 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.

Stories from a Book.

Books become cocktails, and cocktails become stories.
For this VII edition of Como Lake Cocktail Week, literature is the guiding theme: each Signature Cocktail is inspired by a book, a character, or a narrative voice, transforming ingredients and aromas into stories to be savored. From timeless classics to contemporary tales, selected bars across Lake Como will host a unique journey where mixology and storytelling meet, enriched by special events and encounters with booksellers, writers, poets, and literary enthusiasts.

Seventh Edition Theme

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

From Lake Como to the frozen lake of St. Moritz

Thanks to the success of the event on Lake Como, St. Moritz invited Como Lake Cocktail Week to act as a trait d'union between the two lakes by bringing the first edition of St. Moritz Cocktail Week to the Engadine.
