COMMUNISM and cocktails combine tomorrow to mark the centenary of the start of the Russian Revolution.

The Oxford Artisan Distillery will host the free event, which features an introduction to the Cheney Lane business's vodka and a history lesson.

While guests are enjoying a sample of the drink, Oxford University's Professor Dan Healey will also be talking about the October Revolution in which Bolshevik revolutionaries seized power in Russia.

The event starts at the South Park Depot distillery at 7pm.
