Overview

So, you've tasted your way through just about every gin concoction at just about every distillery in town. Now, how about having a go at whipping up some of your own?

Family-run Bayside distillery Here's Looking At You, Kid (HLAYK), has launched a series of intimate masterclasses that'll not only see you sipping and sampling, but creating your very own batch of gin. The pop-up classes are set to descend on secluded CBD rooftop terrace The Stolen Gem, with a string of dates happening across March and April, and each class taking a maximum of just ten students.

Head along to one of these three-hour sessions to learn the secrets of becoming a small-batch gin master. You'll enjoy a gin cocktail on arrival, while the HYLAK experts guide you through selecting the base botanicals for your custom gin creation. You'll run it all through a mini still, making your own 500-millilitre bottle of spirit to keep and drink.

Then, there's even more gin-infused fun to be had, with a tasting of the HYLAK range — including the Sunset Gin and Wild Rose Gin — and a high tea feast served alongside a mini cocktail flight. All inclusive tickets clock in at $170 a head, but with limited spots, you'll want to snap yours up quick.
