Harness the powers of nature in your very own magick absinthe cocktail bitters making workshop.
Join co-Founder of Devil’s Botany & Director of The Last Tuesday Society, Allison Crawbuck, for a magically-charged absinthe tasting and magick cocktail bitters-making workshop to celebrate The Last Tuesday Society’s summer exhibition: Let Me Be Mad!
Guests will receive a Devil’s Botany London Absinthe cocktail on arrival.
Our in-house expert will focus on the botanicals incorporated in the distillation process or each absinthe and explore their different magical uses.
Guests will then unleash a taste of history with a glass of the traditional British Devil’s Botany Absinthe Regalis. This recipe for this absinthe was inspired by a 1718 herbal elixir discovered in the recipe books of London’s apothecaries.
Finally, guests will be invited to create their own absinthe cocktail bitters based on their chosen natural flavours and supernatural powers. Your finished botanical bitters is the perfect gift or addition to your home bar to add a magically-charged twist to any classic cocktail.
Tickets include a Devil’s Botany London Absinthe Cocktail and Glass of Devil’s Botany Absinthe Regalis as well as admission to Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities. All materials will be provided for the cocktail bitters making-workshop, including a 75ml bottle of neutral spirit and a selection of botanicals to create your bitters.
Event suitable for over 18s only.
