Join educator and gin-lover Ed Wicks DipWSET for an exploration of all things gin from G&Ts to martinis.
Event details
The popularity of gin is seemingly unfaltering, but with an ever-growing number of styles and flavours to choose from, it can be difficult to know which bottle to select for your drink.
Start the evening with Ed's perfect martini before proceeding to a tasting of gins from six different distilleries mixed and matched with a range of tonics.
Along the way you'll find out about the diverse range of botanicals that go into the production of this wonderful spirit, from the traditional to the innovative, as well as learn how to craft the perfect G&T for friends and family (or yourself!).
Enjoy your drinks with a selection of bougie crisps hand-selected by Ed.
