The History of Gin According to Cocktails

February 22, 2021

Seattle Cocktail Club is proud to present: The History of Gin According to Cocktails!

We will be joined by the talented staff from Seattle’s Navy Strength (winner of Best New American Bar) as they teach us how to make a gin cocktail with a tropical twist while talking all about gin.

Gin and cocktails have been close bedfellows throughout history. From the early days of gin punch, to the current Golden Age of the Cocktail the rise and fall of gin and cocktails has been intertwined through time.

Today gin enjoys a relationship with more classic cocktails than any other spirit, some receiving just a fleeting moment of fame, others enduring timelessly. The history of these drinks charts a rich course through the gin years, one which we look forward to sharing with you.

This virtual event will be on 2/22/21 at 6:30pm, will feature Ford’s Gin, and the cocktail kits will be available for pickup at Navy Strength in Belltown.

Each kit contains:

• One 750ml bottle Ford’s Gin

• Three cocktail mixes each making 2-4 drinks:

  • A Gimlet featuring Reisling-Lime Cordial

  • A coconut oil-washed Martini

  • A Gin Sling featuring galangal, apricot, and Thai chile

This will be an educational and delectable event, and we can’t wait to see you there. Grab your tickets now!
