About Lagos Cocktail Week
The Lagos Cocktail initiative serves as a platform for celebrating and promoting the cocktail culture in Nigeria through events, seminars, training sessions, etc. Our aspiration is for cocktails and the cocktail industry at large to be recognized as an integral aspect of the Nigerian beverage industry.
The first Lagos Cocktail event held on October 2014 as a weeklong event known as The Lagos Cocktail Week (“LCW”). The Lagos Cocktail Week is a unique celebration of the cocktail culture in Nigeria that provides cocktail enthusiasts an opportunity to converge, celebrate and promote cocktails through a host of activities. The event always includes the Lagos Cocktail Conference, featuring seminars, workshops, master classes and an exhibition.
The conference is targeted at cocktail industry enthusiasts, bartenders, mixologists, bar owners, beverage consultants, and anyone in the beverage sector to empower them to be more and do more, and at the same time providing them the opportunity to learn, unlearn and relearn. It will also expose them to trade secrets, emerging innovations and trends in the industry.
