Opening of the Paris Cocktail Festival 2018
The Paris Cocktail Festival returns for a 7th edition from Saturday 24th (reserved for the public) to Sunday 25th November (reserved for professionals) at the Elysée Montmartre. On the agenda this year: 75 French and international spirits brands, 4 workshops and 11 conferences on the art of cocktail making and its culture.
Among the activities, Jean Munos (Buddha Bar) and Marc Battais (Bar Oof) from the “essential drinks” workshop will teach you how to make “classic” cocktails: mojito, cuba libre, caïpirinha, gin… Don’t hesitate to stop by the “Gin Tonic” stand either to learn everything about how to make this mythical cocktail thanks to Stanislas Jouenne, founder of the Tiger (gin bar). Last workshop not to be missed: the “hot cocktails” workshop, where Nir Chouchana (French champion of baristas) will offer you a revisit of irish coffee or Martini espresso.
As for the 10 conferences, each lasting 45 minutes, they will be accompanied by a cocktail tasting and will address the following themes: an introduction to the art of the cocktail, a feminine approach: a winning cocktail, non-alcoholic cocktails, coffee: extraordinary ingredients, and containers: objects of desire.
The rates are as follows:
– for individuals: 20 euros alone – 34 euros for two – 42 euros for three
– for professionals: free entry by invitation only
