It's one of those drinks
that's been around
forever boosted in recent
years by a resurgence in
popularity. Yep that's
right gin is cool again.
These two-hour
experiences will take you
on a journey of
botanicals and berries
through how gin is made
the history and how we

but getting that mix
right is practically an
art form. These tasting
sessions will show you
how to make the perfect
gin and tonic. It's all
about the right glass the
right amount of ice
selecting the right tonic
and getting the ratio of
gin to mixer right - all
finished off with a
flourish with a twist of
lemon or a slice of lime.
Deliciously refreshing!
Same with the Martini.

and vermouth you select.

gin number that you can
adapt to your own taste.

entertained. They'll get
you involved get you

entertaining and hands-on
workshops are a great
evening out. You'll learn
a lot you'll have plenty
of gin to sample and when

botanicals on this gin

and winding road to
redemption from the gin

century' and now bespoke

rage. This experience

concoct your very own
bespoke gin and take it
home with you! Dr
Hardwicke's Gin Emporium

1920s Art Deco style as
part of the renowned

generation brewers. As
well as producing fine
ales this lot love a

bottle of gin will be
presented to you along
with a 50ml of Dr

Brooklyn Gin there's
something for all
palates. You might be

comes to actually tasting
gin serving it with a
tonic is the best way for
you to appreciate the
blend of botanicals in
each individual gin. But
did you know that which
mixer you choose for your
gin with can affect the
overall taste of your
drink? From ginger ale to
lemon tonic tonic waters
come in various flavours.
It can be minefield out
there so thank goodness
the ginthusiast can show
you the way. Whilst
you're tasting away head
chef Andre will be
serving freshly prepared
nibbles from patés and
crackers to tasty
goujons. It really is all
very civilised and as
well as sampling lots of
those botanical busting
drinks you get to learn a
fair bit too. If gin
tasting in Stourbridge
sounds like your kind of
entertainment book now
