How did gin go from the devilishly addictive drink of the 18th century, causing devastating social problems, to being the undisputed queen of the drinks cabinet?

Join Jane Peyton, drinks educator and historian, in a tutored tasting of three different types of gin and the cocktails they inspired – and learn how gin helped Britain to become the dominant naval power and establish a vast empire.

All guests will receive a welcome drink followed by an entertaining tasting tutorial with a plethora of fascinating facts to turn you into a gin Mastermind.

This event is for 18+ only. It will last for approximately 1.5 hours.
