Mumbai has never needed an excuse for a party. In the city that never sleeps, weekends bring a completely new side to the city’s populace. The more stressful the week, the louder the parties and stronger the drinks. With rooftop bars giving ethereal views and drinks that surprise you with every sip, Mumbai has no shortage of experimental bars and nightclubs. But this time, there’s something a little different in store, like a cherry on top. And, if your idea of a perfect end to the week is a perfectly balanced Negroni and world-class live performance, then India Cocktail Week is exactly what you should be saving to your calendar. Making its way across India, season 6 returns to Mumbai from February 28 to March 1, 2026. From iconic mixes to chic workshops, here’s everything you need to know before booking those very enticing tickets.
India Cocktail Week – Mumbai 2026
Popularly known as ICW, the India Cocktail Week promises two full days of flavour, culture, and high-energy celebration, taking place in the marvellous grounds of Jio World Garden. From 2 PM to 10 PM, expect the space to be a gathering of iconic and legendary spirit brands. Participating this year with their very own booths are over 25+ brands, including Absolut, Bacardi, Fino Tequila, Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater, Ballentine’s, Daku Rum, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Jack Daniels, Nisaki Gin, and so many more. With both global and homegrown liquor brands in the mix, each brings its own twist of cocktail innovation. Moreover, each brand is expected to set up its own experience zone. From the botanical gardens of premium gin to the smoky world of craft whiskeys, there is a spirit for every palate. Not to mention, brand zones that make for tantalising Instagram posts.
Nevertheless, here’s where things get heated up. Inviting world-class mixologists from bars featured on the World’s 50 Best list, the space is a rare opportunity for you taste cocktails never found anywhere else. There’s nothing better than tasting award-winning concoctions from Dubai, London, and Singapore without leaving the lap of Mumbai.
What’s More?
As we mentioned, India Cocktail Week is all about celebrating the growing creativity in the Indian mixology scene. And for those who are still in the closet, enjoying mixing their own potions, the festival’s cocktail workshops are a must-visit. These sessions teach you the secrets of the “perfect pour”, from muddling techniques to the art of garnish, only from the very best. Thus, this is your chance to up your game from a cocktail enthusiast to an amateur mixologist in two afternoons.
Furthermore, the vibe is only fueled by an endless musical lineup playing live to match the spirited energy. As the sun sets, the festival transforms into an open-air party with a hit mix of international electronic and indie-pop bands. With the likes of JBABE, Sickflip, Aaliya, Sage, and Discokid, you are only in for an astounding evening. Adding to the fire on the stage, the viral Peter Cat Recording Co. is headlining on the second day, March 1. A match made in heaven, indeed. Between giant neon installations, themed gaming zones and curated food pop-ups featuring the city’s cult-favourite eateries, your camera roll will be as full as your glasses.
Pro-tip:
Arrive by 4 PM to catch the workshops. And, hit that golden hour lighting for your photos before the main musical acts take to the stage.
