Description
Step into the fascinating world of Icelandic gin and create your own perfect G&T in this immersive, hands-on workshop led by an award-winning spirits educator. This is not your average tasting — it’s a journey through flavor, craftsmanship, and Icelandic creativity. Taste five unique Icelandic gins, each showcasing distinctive botanicals and the character of Icelandic distilling. Your host will guide you through the story behind each gin, explaining how local ingredients, pure Icelandic water, and innovative producers have helped shape the country’s growing gin scene. Next, discover what makes a great Gin & Tonic. Using a premium tonic carefully selected to complement the gins, you’ll learn how bitterness, sweetness, carbonation, dilution, ice, and proportion influence the final drink. Step by step, you’ll build a balanced G&T and understand how small adjustments can completely change the drinking experience. No previous bartending experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Using a selection of non-traditional garnishes, explore how aroma and flavor can transform your G&T. Experiment with ingredients such as herbs, spices, dried botanicals, and other carefully selected garnishes designed to complement the individual character of each gin. As you taste and experiment, compare different combinations, discuss flavors, and share your impressions in a relaxed, social atmosphere. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover new favorites while learning practical techniques you can easily recreate at home. The workshop ends with a final toast — a celebration of Icelandic craftsmanship, creativity, and good company. Leave with a deeper understanding of gin, a new appreciation for Icelandic producers, and the confidence to create your own perfect G&T.Includes
