The model and the numbers

A proven format.
Finally in Milan.

CocktailX Munich validated the model: a bar-hopping festival with a single pass, year-on-year growth, a loyal community of enthusiasts.

The Model: A proven, successful format — a bar-hopping festival with a single pass, growing year on year with a loyal community of enthusiasts.

The Paradox: Milan has Italy's most advanced cocktail culture, and no festival to match it. Until now.

The Opportunity: The first edition is where the foundation gets built. Getting in now means showing Milan this event was always going to happen.
