Join us for a presentation on the history and tasting of early gin based cocktails. Ticket cost includes your choice of two gin-based cocktails and charcuterie board.

What was the original “Pink Gin” and what does it mean to have it “in or out”? Which bittering agent in Gin and Tonics helped fight malaria and changed the world map? Why was punch most likely invented by British sailors and how did that lead to the Tom Collins? How did trying to cure scurvy lead to the creation of the Gimlet? We’ll cover all these subjects and more all while sipping on expertly prepared cocktails.
