Ginuary 2019
Complete with a countdown of Australian and New Zealand 100 best gins.
Overview
All day, every day that it's open, West End's Covent Garden is in the gin game. Gin and tonics, gin cocktails, gin shots — if you like your alcoholic beverages made from juniper spirits, that's what you'll find here. That remains true from 11am on Sunday, January 27; however the Boundary Street joint is going a little more gin crazy than usual. It's calling the celebration Ginuary, and we recommend that you arrive thirsty.
Revamping the event since 2019, this year's shindig will involve a pop-up bar focusing on Ink Gin, where you making your own G&Ts by choosing from seven different tonics and more than 100 garnishes. There'll also be small-sized masterclasses each hour, with Brookie's Gin in the spotlight — and tasting paddles available from Four Pillars.
Highlighting how huge 2018 was in the gin world, Covent Garden is compiling a hottest 100 of Australian and New Zealand gins, too, complete with a countdown on the day. You can vote online until noon on Friday, January 25 — or in-person at the venue — and having your say will give you priority in getting into the party. While this soiree is free to enter, the venue does have a 250-person capacity.
