Join us for 2 hours on Saturday October 11th from 1-3pm as we explore the ease and joy of crafting your own unique and delicious drinks at home.
✅ Do you enjoy a drink but would prefer to know what's in it?
✅ Do preservatives, additives and hang overs K*ll the enjoyment of a couple of drinks with friends?
✅ Maybe you'd love to save money every weekend, every camping trip, every family gathering or event by making your own spirits rather than buying them at a premium?
✅ Would you love to be able to make your own neutral spirits to use for making tinctures, herbal medicines, or even hand sanitisers?
✅ How about making your own custom gin?
