London Cocktail Week is a celebration of London's world-leading cocktail culture - and that celebration wouldn't be complete without including some of the city's most award-winning and revered bars. 

This is where the Connoisseur's Collection comes in. We have curated a programme of luxury, one-of-a-kind experiences, that have been created especially for London Cocktail Week. Some of these are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to try rare spirits, some are unique chances to make reservations in places where that is usually not available - and some are simply the best of the best when it comes to cocktails. 

These experiences are incredibly limited - some with just a handful of tickets available. If you're keen - make sure you book them quickly.

The Aubrey at Mandarin Oriental - Special Omakase
