About this Event
The underwater world holds treasures we can only begin to imagine. From bottles of Champagne found in the bowels of ships off Key West to the rum-induced allure of sirens in the Caribbean; the eternal allure of the fate of the Titanic and its illustrious passengers to Viking longships and remnants of their sailors; pirates, sea monsters and more - this talk will uncover some of the sea’s most magnetic stories alongside the likes of vodka, rum and whisky to whet your whistle.
Award-winning drinks writer and author Millie Milliken will guide you through five different spirits that bring the stories of the evening to life. From their history to how they’re made, how to drink them and more, this is a chance to learn about the magical world and flavour of spirits through unexpected tales.
