OVERVIEW: This trade program is designed to showcase Sipsmith's gin smithery and how to bring that same passion to modern day cocktail smithery. The essential connection between the two worlds: the role and blending of fresh herbs and botanicals - both in gin making and cocktail making. The Sipsmith Cocktail Conservatory brings these two worlds together to entertain and educate guests in three formats:
Sipsmith represents London Dry Gin the way it used to be, through the lost art of gin smithery. We invite trade to experience our passion for doing things properly through a live class on gin and cocktail smithery with local mixologists using fresh herbs and botanicals in cocktail creation.
Option 1: Give trade guests the experience of creating their own herb gardens, and showcase how easy it is to grow fresh herbs popular in cocktail making where they work.
Option 2: Make Your Own Shrub! Using fresh herbs, along with fruits, berries and other bases, learn to create your own Shrub cocktail - perfect for using at your guests' home bars. Partner with a local mixologist to host the session.
Local specialty plant store or garden-themed on-premise, based on local regulations/legal restrictions or non-premise permitting requirements.
