Cocktails in the City arrives in Rome May 15-17, 2026, transforming Rome’s Botanical Garden into a grand stage dedicated to contemporary mixology. The international format, born in London and for the first time hosted in Italy, will bring together top cocktail bars, prominent bartenders and leading beverage brands in three days of tastings, music and entertainment.
Among the most anticipated partners of the event stands out the presence of Acqua Orsini, chosen as the official water of the event. A role that confirms the premium positioning of the Apulian brand in the world of quality hospitality and advanced blending. Indeed, purity, mineral balance and attention to detail make Acqua Orsini a natural presence in a context where every element contributes to the final consumer experience.
The initiative perfectly represents the brand’s contemporary vision: not just premium products, but authentic experiences built together with industry professionals capable of interpreting mixed drinks with creativity and personality.
Depero, active since 2012 in the heart of Rieti, is considered a small laboratory of experimentation where cocktails, cuisine and pop culture dialogue in an original way. The venue, led by Antonio Tittoni and Chiara D’Orazio, has distinguished itself for a proposal that combines signature drinks, gastronomic pairings and a strong identity inspired by Fortunato Depero’s Futurism. A reality off the beaten track, but able to attract national attention thanks to an innovative and recognizable approach.
The pop-up signed Orsini Soda, Depero and Mezcaleros, thus promises a drink list designed to enhance the brand’s different references that will become the ideal base for fresh, technical and contemporary cocktails. An opportunity to tell how the right mixer can elevate the entire drink experience.
In Rome, therefore, Orsini Soda will be a concrete protagonist of one of the most interesting moments of the event, bringing Italian style, innovation and great hospitality to the stage.
