Florence Cocktail Week returns to Florence from April 7 to 13 with 60 cocktail bars, events, and new visions of contemporary mixology<\/h2>\n

Florence once again speaks the language of mixology with Florence Cocktail Week<\/strong>, created and directed by Paola Mencarelli<\/strong>. From April 7 to 13, 2025<\/strong>, the world of mixology will feature guest shifts, masterclasses, cultural appointments<\/strong>, and cocktails created specifically for the event. The sixty participating venues will present two cocktails<\/strong> designed for #FCW25: a Signature<\/em> drink made with products from partner companies, and a low-alcohol or alcohol-free Wellness Signature<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Among the novelties of this edition, bartenders from the most interesting venues in Venice<\/strong>, Tuscany, and Amalfi will be guests at FCW events, and for the first time, cocktail lists will clearly display the alcohol content<\/strong> of every drink.<\/p>\n

The event follows the established format of Italian Cocktail Weeks<\/em>, with widespread events organized from brunch to the night shift<\/strong> within the best bars in Florence.<\/p>\n

The project is realized with the patronage of the City of Florence<\/strong> and the support of the Destination Florence Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Focus on bartenders<\/h3>\n

Barkeeper FCW<\/em><\/strong> makes its debut, a project that highlights the resident bartenders<\/strong> working behind their own counters during their regular shifts. On scheduled days and times, these professionals will discuss the cocktails created for #FCW25 and their approach to mixing. Giving a face to each of them is a series of portraits by photographer Veronica Gaido<\/strong>, an integral part of the event’s visual communication. <\/p>\n

Young Guest Bartender<\/strong> returns, a project designed for professionals under 25<\/strong>: young bartenders taking center stage at the bar, either alone or alongside established names in the industry.<\/p>\n

The Shift Scholarship from Kazakhstan<\/strong><\/em>, curated by Paola Mencarelli and Arina Nikolskaya<\/strong> (SHIFT.project), brings Abay Mukambayev<\/strong> and Svetlana Khaninaeva<\/strong> to Tuscany. The two professionals will take part in a training experience in San Vincenzo<\/strong> and Florence<\/strong>, with guest shifts scheduled for Tuesday, April 8 at the Santa Cocktail Club<\/a><\/strong>, Thursday, April 10<\/strong> (Eye Cocktail Bar), and Saturday, April 12<\/strong> at Gucci Giardino<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The week’s significant appointments also include several international appearances:<\/p>\n
