Delhi Cocktail Week 2026 to showcase mixology excellence

Delhi Cocktail Week 2026 is set to return to Delhi NCR from April 18 to 25, bringing together bartenders, bar owners, beverage brands and hospitality professionals for nine days of tastings, competitions, education and networking.

Owned and presented by AMM Brands LLP in collaboration with the India Bartenders Guild, the event has evolved beyond a consumer festival into a broader industry platform connecting beverage enthusiasts with global bartenders and hospitality leaders.

This year’s edition will feature more than 100 participating bars across the region presenting specially curated cocktail menus created by leading mixologists. Alongside the cocktail experiences, the event will also include a Beer Week with over 20 breweries offering craft beer tastings and brewery tours, as well as a Wine Week featuring more than 20 wine bars showcasing curated global selections.

The programme will also host more than 10 cocktail and beer crawls across prominent nightlife hubs in the capital region. In addition, industry professionals and enthusiasts will be able to participate in over 10 masterclasses and certification programmes conducted with the support of the International Bartenders Association, including the IBA Certificate in Bartending and the IBA Foundation Course.

A key highlight will be the second edition of the National Cocktail Championship on April 20, with winners representing India at the IBA World Cocktail Championship 2026 in Macau.

The week will also feature the launch of the Golden Peacock Cup, billed as India’s first international cocktail competition, and the debut IBG Student Competition for hospitality students. Running alongside the celebrations will be the India Bar Show 2026, an international B2B trade platform for industry stakeholders, culminating in the India Bar Awards gala night recognising excellence in the hospitality sector.
