London Cocktail Week: Events and cocktail recipe

This week, London Cocktail Week is back, and we're letting everyone in the capital know the best places to party. 

Now in its third year, London Cocktail Week is descending onto the village of Seven Dials, Covent Garden, bringing with it some truly exciting events - from blending your own bottle of gin to visiting a gin library.

Lingerie shop Coco de Mer (23 Monmouth Street) will play host to a pop-up Cointreau bar, while at The Ginstitute (15-16 Thomas Neal Centre), you can help blend your own bottle of bespoke gin.

To kick off your celebrations, mix up this simple cocktail recipe:
