I was invited to a fun event organized by Sipsmith<\/a>, the only London Dry Gin producer that actually crafts gin in London.\u00a0 They sent me a deluxe cocktail making kit and a bottle of their finest gin for the World Gin Day<\/a>, which I have been using since to entertain my guests.\u00a0 The event was held at Garden Party Flowers<\/a>, a local\u00a0leader in Vancouver Wedding and Event Floral Design, and well regarded for gorgeous work by peers all over the World, and featuring delicious gin cocktail mixed by Micah (@ohmybartender<\/a>), as well as an incredibly fun holiday wreath-making workshop by Amy Hu from Garden Party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being my very first experience crafting something so beautiful out of fresh floral elements, it seems challenging at first. But with Amy’s patience and great instructions, I surprised myself with such an excellent result. I was rewarded a beautiful wreath to take home, making my door exceptionally lovely for this holiday season!<\/p>\n

Amy’s workshop would make such a great family or corporate event, and you will be able to book through Garden Party Flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3 cocktails were featured during the event and they were absolutely delicious. First, we received a warm welcome with the Hot Gin & Gingerbread<\/strong>, which set up the holiday mood perfectly. The Sipsmith Negroni<\/strong> came next and nothing is more classic than this drink mixed with classic London dry gin, Campari, and Rosso Vermouth. And the Sipsmith G&T<\/strong> concluded the tasting with a refreshing, citrusy note. I was so honoured to receive a bonus cocktail from Micah as I requested, and the Sipsmith Martini<\/strong> with olive has sent me to the moon!<\/p>\n

And most of the cocktails we tasted tonight are featured in the book Sip: 100 Gin Cocktails with Only 3 Ingredients<\/strong>, which could be purchased online<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0I was happy to take the book home, in great thanks to Sipsmith!<\/p>\n
