Bengaluru is gearing up for the country’s biggest cocktail celebration as India Cocktail Week (ICW) returns for Season 6 on November 22–23 at Bhartiya Mall. The festival promises two days of craft cocktails, global spirits, gourmet food and high-energy music, cementing Bengaluru’s status as India’s cocktail capital.
This year, ICW goes multi-city with editions in Gurugram, Hyderabad and Mumbai, expanding its footprint across India. Schweppes India leads as the presenting partner, alongside a stellar lineup of international and homegrown spirit brands including Absolut, Bacardi, Bombay Sapphire, Chambal Gin, Don Julio, Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker Blonde, Roku Gin, Tanqueray, Toki Whisky, Woodburns and Zig Zag Vodka.
Season 6 will feature performances by Peter Cat Recording Company, Stalvart John, Arun Sivag, and Bengaluru favourites A Party Called Nanda and Kampai. A major highlight is the pop-up by Giacosa — the iconic Italian bar behind the world’s first Negroni and ranked 215 on The World’s Best Bars list.
The festival will also showcase top culinary partners such as Foo, Shoyu and Good Flippin’ Burgers, along with mixology workshops, masterclasses and industry conversations.
Co-founders Akshat Kumar and Sharan Behl call Season 6 their “most ambitious edition yet,” bringing together over 100 beverage and hospitality brands.
