December cocktails? Yes, please. The Cyprus Cocktail Festival is back this month after cancelling its October event due to heavy rainfall. On December 14 it will take over the downstairs section of Eleftheria Square and fill with music and more importantly bar stands from around Europe serving signature cocktails.

Organised by Deejay Radio and Difford’s Guide, the one-day festival will include 20 cocktail bars, 10 from Cyprus and 10 from Greece and Europe. Participating from the island are: Lost+Found Drinkery, Notes and Spirits, Ukiyo Listening Bar, Baronymous, Seven Monkeys, High & Wet, Sousourada Bar, Lambater Bistro Bar, Library bar and Kathikas Square Gin Bar.

One bar from Italy will also be there to serve unique flavours as well as a bar from France. Eight cocktail bars from Greece will join the Christmas edition of the festival with more drink options.

Welcoming visitors and cocktail enthusiasts from 6pm onwards will be top DJs from Deejay Radio who will play festive and upbeat music until midnight when the event wraps up.
