From June 9 to 15, Lecce is transformed into the capital of Italian mixology thanks to Lecce Cocktail Week, the widespread festival that celebrates the art of fine drinking through tastings, events, master classes and international guests. An event that grows every year and stands out for its ability to involve bars, bartenders and fans in an immersive and widespread experience in the heart of Salento.
Also this year, for the second consecutive edition, Orsini Soda will be main partner of the event. The collaboration is strengthened and renewed, confirming the link between the brand and the world of contemporary mixology, with a special focus on bartenders, true protagonists and ambassadors of the Orsini Soda family.
