Como Lake Cocktail Week is Ready to Shake the Lake

Embrace the elegance of ‘Fantastic Classic!’ as Como Lake Cocktail Week returns for its fifth edition, ready to enchant Lake Como with a perfect mix of tradition and innovation.

  • June 29, 2024

From the heart of the walled city of Como to scenic grand hotels “pieds dans l’eau” of Lake Como, the fifth edition of the Como Lake Cocktail Week will shake the lake, paying homage to the classics of mixing, at that Golden Age which is the point of reference in the history of cocktails.

From July 1 to July 9, 2024, a wide range of events is planned in Lake Como: a week dedicated to the art of mixology, quality mixed drinks and the finest food pairings, with a special drink list of the cocktails, including alcoholic and alcohol-free versions, served at the counter of the most charming luxury hotels, street bars and restaurants of Lake Como.

Opening the exclusive week will be the Cocktail Competition that will crown the Best Cocktail of Lake Como 2024, with 30 bartenders competing in front of an exceptional jury that will select the 3 best recipes with Bitter Campari, then protagonists of the final challenge during the Closing Party & Awards.

Como Lake Cocktail Week

This year 35 locations – including hotels, restaurants and bars – will be involved in a packed calendar of events, evenings, presentations of new products and tastings of cocktails prepared by top barmen on the theme: ‘Fantastic Classic’.

Como Lake Cocktail Week is a landmark event of Lake Como in the food & beverage sector supported by the Municipality of Como, Confindustria and Confcommercio. It aims to educate on responsible and quality drinking and strengthen the area’s synergies. Como Lake Cocktail Week is a multisensory experience that becomes a manifesto of a new wave of creativity and experimentation, which comes to life behind the bar counter, a place where mixing is transformed into storytelling that enchants.
