The Sex and the City girls would be first in line for this one - a seven day festival based on trying out the finest cocktails the bartender has to offer.

The best news? It's an actual thing, and it's happening in Dublin. The Dublin Cocktail Festival will run for a week from October 12th.

More than thirty venues across the city are involved, and each of them has been working on developing a signature cocktail which they hope will win them the top prize at the end of the festival.

Organisers say all of the specially made drinks will contain an Irish spirit or liqueur as their leading ingredient, to show off what distilleries are creating "everything from single pot still whiskies, premium gins and vodkas, old school poitíns and liqueurs infused with wild Irish berries."

Many of the Irish brands involved in the festival this year will be hosting public tastings and masterclasses at some of their favourite venues.

Bars and restaurants involved include Coppinger Row, Diep Le Shaker, Drury Buildings, Secret Bar and Fade Street Social, Koh, Peruke & Periwig, Upstairs at Kinara Kitchen and 777.

The Dublin Cocktail Festival follows on from the Dublin Gin & Tonic Festival in June, and you can find out more here.
