True Italian brings to Berlin for the first time an event dedicated exclusively to drinks – after the success of formats like Pizza Week and Gelato Week, now comes the Berlin Cocktail Week. For a bit more than one week, from November 14th to 23rd 2025, cocktail lovers can enjoy creative drinks at 24 of the best bars in the city for a fixed price of only 8 euros.
High Quality meets Creativity
Inspired by Italian premium spirits such as Disaronno, Disaronno Velvet, Tia Maria, Select, Engine Gin, and Amaro Montenegro, Berlin's most talented bartenders have each created two exclusive drinks: from innovative reinterpretations to elegant classics.
Here you can find some examples: VELVET NIGHT (Whiskey, coffee liqueur, Disaronno Velvet foam), MONTENEGRO MULE (Montenegro, Whisky, Fresh Lemon, Homemade Sugar Syrup, Top with Soda), VELVET DREAM (Disaronno Velvet, Chocolate grated pieces, whisky, Amaro Montenegro), or - perfect for this season - SELECT GLÜHWEIN (Select, Riesling, Black Pepper, Star Anise, Cloves, Citrus Cordial, Orange Blossom Water, Salt, Cream, Plum and Black Tea).
The full list of all offered cocktails can be found here.
To have a better overview of the participating bars, a map based on the Berlin subway plan has been created. The map can be found both online and as a flyer in the participating bars. Additionally, a Google Maps version is available.
