Mothers ruin, the green fairy – alcohol has always been seen as a vice, but some drinks tend more to the dark side than others! In this off beat guided tasting we will explore the drinks that come with a reputation, deserved or not, and see if we can drag them back into the realm of respectability.We will begin with Champagne and its pesky bubbles - a problem for the early winemakers and our heads! We will then set our disapproving gaze upon a rogues gallery of spirits - Gin, Tequila and the thoroughly disreputable Absinthe. But fear not, each will be served alongside a matched canape in a shot at respectability. Last but not least, we will turn our attention to kava, that sometimes illicit inducer of good island times!Cheers, or should we say &quot;Down the hatch!&quot;We gratefully acknowledge the support of Scapegrace Distillery and Pernod RicardUnfortunately, this event cannot cater for dietary requirementsPlease note that all tickets must be purchased through Eventbrite.
