The week in brief
36 Dublin bars and restaurants took part, and every one poured a signature cocktail made for the week. Rum was the most used spirit, in 9 of the signature cocktails.
After the week we asked wristband holders which bars they loved most. Bar 1661, The Jar and Jackies came out on top.
