The World Class Cocktail Festival is Taking Over 40 UAE Bars
From Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, over 40 bars are serving ‘Top 50’ and ‘Tropical Maximalism’ cocktail menus until January 28th; with a chance to Catch Luca Cinalli’s takeover Salmon Guru on Janunary 26th
The World Class Cocktail Festival is here, and it’s a whispered secret that’s too good to keep. The minds behind Don Julio, Johnnie Walker, Tanqueray No. TEN, and Singleton have taken over more than 40 of the UAE’s sleekest bars—from Zuma and Galaxy Bar in Dubai to Craft by SideHustle in Abu Dhabi and the whole scene at Rixos Al Mairid in Ras Al Khaimah. Until January 28th, each spot is serving up potions from the ‘Top 50 Bartenders’ and ‘Tropical Maximalism’ menus—each drink a little world in a glass, swirling with stories and razor-sharp precision. And while the region’s top talents compete behind the scenes in an invite-only showdown at Gitano, the real fun is out here at the bar—through guest shifts, tastings, and that buzzing festival energy. With a front-row access you could experience the electric thrill of watching global legend Luca Cinalli take over Salmon Guru for one night only—circle January 26th in blood-red lipstick. Sip something outrageous at Skyview Bar, with the city glittering below, or find your perfect vibrant concoction at Sexy Fish. So, here is your perfectly contemporary, gloriously human mission: Pick a venue. Any venue. Grab your most interesting friend, the one who appreciates a well-crafted metaphor and a better-crafted cocktail. Snag a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Ruby on your way (it comes with a free drink ticket, because the universe rewards the decisive). Then, dive in.
