Last month’s Hendrick’s Cocktail Party was a resounding success with guests and two lucky Gintimers flocking to get the lowdown on the seamier side of life in London in the eighteenth century. Don’t miss the next Hendrick’s Cocktail Party run in association with the Last Tuesday Society, a Pataphysical organisation devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London. It takes place on Monday 31st March at Bistrotheque, 23-27 Wadeson Street, London, E2 and will feature Peter Parker on Christopher Isherwood. Hendrick’s cocktails from 6.30pm, talk at 7.30pm.
It’s been a busy time for The London Gin having just been awarded the prestigious gold medal in the Wine & Spirit magazine Design & Packaging Awards 2008. It was also the star of the show at the exclusive Madrid Fusion event in Spain, where a bespoke bar served and sampled hundreds of key journalists, buyers and enthusiasts from the world of fine food and drink. The signature cocktail, the “Passion Fruit and London Gin Sour” went down a storm!
It’s also grabbing lots of attention in London with new listings at The Establishment in Parsons Green, Match Bar in Clerkenwell, the Soho Hotel, Pinchito in Shoreditch, The Chesterfield in Mayfair, Donovan Bar at Browns Hotel (Mayfair) and One Great George Street in Westminster. In addition, our favourite shop Gerry’s of Soho now stock The London Gin in store and online.
