Some bars taking part include: Revolución de Cuba; The Alchemist; Mamucium; Arcane; Blinker; Dust ‘til Pawn; New Century Kitchen; The Drop; Exhibition; Hula; Junction; Junior Jackson’s and Cloud23 - plus many more.
As well as limited-edition Rum Week cocktails, brand spotlights, collabs and dedicated parties will be taking over the city. Here’s just a few of the speciality cocktails to whet your whistle:
Cosmic Conch at The Alchemist (New York Street, MediaCity, Spinningfields)

Pomegranate Mojito at Reserve Wines (Picturedrome, Mackie Mayor, Altrincham Market)
