Welcome to Eater's Third Annual Cocktail Week

Eater readers of all shapes and sizes, your October is about to get much boozier—Eater's third annual Cocktail Week is kicking off this very moment. This week, the entire Eater Universe is rolling out special stories dedicated to that drinkable mixture of liquor and more, the cocktail. Keep your eyes and livers glued to the screen all week for reports, maps, interviews, and more.

Here in Chicago, there is also a chance for you to participate in Cocktail Week, as five of the best drinking establishments in town have created special cocktails to be highlighted and available all week for your drinking pleasure. Head out to Analogue, Berkshire Room, Drumbar, Paris Club Bistro and Bar and Sportsman's Club this week to sip these limited-edition libations.

So, without further ado, let the cocktailing begin.
