World Gin Day 2018 events London - Mr Fogg's

Celebrate World Gin Day with Mr Fogg

When: 7th June 2018

Where: Central London, starting at Mr Fogg’s Gin Parlour, Covent Garden

£: Tickets cost £25

What is it?

This week, in celebration of World Gin Day, Mr Fogg’s Victorian style bars will be joining forces with Bombay Sapphire; inviting guests on a gin journey around London, to celebrate the spirit of the summer.

On Thursday 7th June, guests will be able to take part in a gin tasting tipple adventure on Tuk Tuks, traveling between Mr Fogg’s Gin Parlour, Mr Fogg’s Tavern and Mr Fogg’s Mayfair Residence.

Each cocktail tasted along the way will use a different method of creativity, to showcase how flavour and colour together can enhance each drink. Mr Fogg’s will highlight the colour yellow throughout each drink, using edible paint and yellow coloured garnishes such as lemon twists and ginger candies to stir creativity.

Beginning the Gin Journey, rather aptly, at Mr Fogg’s Gin Parlour in Covent Garden, each guest will be given their first gin tipple, Bang Up to the Elephant.

Guests will then be taken downstairs to Mr Fogg’s Tavern for some filling fodder from their Bill of Fare, served alongside their First Rate G & T tasting tipple, made using gin, citric and malic acid blend, simple syrup, orange and mandarin bitters, topped off with Fentimans soda, the perfect libation for a summer evening.

Venturing out of Covent Garden and through the hustle and bustle of London streets, guests will be transported through town on Bombay Sapphire Tuk Tuks, passing iconic London landmarks on route, before arriving at Mr Fogg’s Residence.

Upon arrival at the last stop on the gin journey, guests will be treated to the refreshing Global Pursuit cocktail.

Throughout the weekend, Mr Fogg’s Tavern will be serving up their First Rate G & T to customers, so even if you can’t make the Gin Journey, you can still celebrate World Gin Day.
