When it comes to spirits, do you have clear priorities?

Overview

When it comes to spirits, do you have clear priorities? Is your go-to drink the fruity tipple that has made many a glass of tonic taste great? Can you taste the difference between Tanqueray and Hendricks?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then you'd best mark June 11 in your calendar. Because there's a special date for everything, that's when World Gin Day falls — and you'd better believe that Dutch Courage Officers' Mess has put together a series of gin-focused masterclasses to celebrate the occasion.

That's what you'd expect from a bar that has more than 120 gins on its menu, but they really have outdone themselves this time. Start things off with oysters and Bloody Marys, enjoy a few food and drink pairings, and work your way up to teapot cocktails. And, for even more fun in-between sessions, lounge around at the outdoor bar, listen to all-day soundtrack of cruisy blues, rifle through goodie bags and keep wetting your whistle at gin tastings.
