Founder Andrew Scutts comments: “The night epitomizes everything that is both educational and fun about the drinks industry. With every bar creating a little “pop up” it’s a great way to learn more about the art of drinking and bars in your area.”

This year visitors can choose from a range of tickets:

  • The Taster: £15 including entrance, two cocktails, main stage demonstrations, cocktail booklet.
  • The Enthusiast: £25 includes three cocktails, A Liquorists Tutored Tasting Session, main stage demonstrations and cocktail booklet.
  • The Connoisseur: £45 includes champagne cocktail reception, food from Almost Famous, three cocktails, A Liquorists tutored tasting session.

Last year the bars competed for the best Overall winner (Won by Keko Moku & El Dorado Rum) Personality of the show (Won by Johnboy Socio Rehab), Cocktail of the show (Won by Gin Mare Strawberry Pepper Mule) and Stand of the show (Won by The Liars Club). This year with new bars and brands involved the competition will be hotter than ever.

To celebrate Manchester’s world beating cocktail scene the #MCRHEARTSCOCKTAILS hash tag is once again launched with the aim of raising awareness of the bustling Manchester bar scene, with the city’s bars now being home to some of the world’s very best bartenders.
