All You Need to Know about Gin, Wednesday 1st February 2017

Gin is (still) having something of a revival, so come along this evening and learn all about it. We’ll start with a gin and tonic to soothe away the troubles of the day, before diving in to learn about the history of gin, from its origins as Genever and Old Tom to its (re)incarnation as anything from a light, delicately flavoured and floral spirit to a robust and spicy drink. We’ll end with a look at gin cocktails, and what makes the perfect Martini. To balance your spirits, we’ll serve homemade bar snacks as well. The perfect evening for those who prefer the grain to the grape. Hosted by Barbara Drew, Wine and Spirit Education Specialist
