WHAT TO DO: Who needs a drink?
Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 10-15, various venues
Back again for its third year, Madison Cocktail Week is a six-day spectacular with a singular focus -- connecting cocktails to the community. Part educational exposition and part quirky bacchanalian spectacle, the week promises nearly 30 events including guided tastings, seminars with industry professionals and wild performances. Highlights include a synchronized flair bartending competition on Tuesday at the Majestic (9 pm); a gender bending "blender bender" on Wednesday at Nomad World Pub (9 pm); a guided Scotch-tasting bar crawl (kilt included) on Friday (9 pm); and a special cocktail dinner at Vitruvian Farms on Saturday (6 pm).
