Jackton Distillery will host Cocktail Week from Thursday May 7 to Sunday May 10, 2026, offering a secret menu of six exclusive cocktails priced at $6 (£5) each. The four-day event at the family-owned South Lanarkshire distillery will feature live music, a free cocktail passport and a prize draw for a private masterclass experience.
At the center of the celebration is the Cocktail Week Passport, a free, uniquely numbered keepsake available at the bar. Each passport gives guests access to six off-menu serves created exclusively for the event, with recipes revealed in advance on the distillery’s website.
