Spirited Women – a historical cocktail tasting experience
About this event
Cheers to the women who changed the way we drink! Hear the hidden history of the female pioneers who drank, distilled, and defied, while enjoying cocktails inspired by them. Drinking history expert Simon Sharp takes you on a journey from the invention of the pub and modern beer, to distillation and champagne – where women have been at the forefront, challenging patriarchy so we can all enjoy a drink. To illustrate these stories guests will enjoy four cocktails; The Mansplainer, The Poinsettia, Bees Knees, and Hanky Panky – all invented or inspired by these trailblazing ladies, crafted with ingredients sourced from female founded and led businesses. A tribute to women's creativity and courage, this tasting celebrates the mark they've left on drinking culture. Make a day of it and mooch the Winter Makers Market for unique gift ideas, curated homeware edits, bespoke crafts, tasty treats and more. Suitable for 18+ Book required via Eventbrite £20 (plus booking fee)
