'Tis the season for many things, though at one particular pop-up Christmas market, the festivities are entirely, deliciously gin-related. Held at famed gin bar The Barber Shop and hosted by Sydney's own gin expert The Ginstress (aka Elly Baxter), the inaugural Christmas Gin Market is a one-stop pressie shop, with a very distinct flavour.
Taking over the space for three hours on both December 7 and 14, expect a careful curation of gin-themed delights — products from top local distilleries, Treat Dreams' handcrafted gin-filled chocolates, gin-based marmalade from Four Pillars and gin-scented grooming products from the folks at Enright's Original Gin. You'll also be able to get your hands on the soundtrack from hit Sydney Festival show, Mother's Ruin: A Cabaret About Gin, and there'll be meet-and-greet opportunities with some of your favourite Aussie distillers.
Browse top-notch gifts for your gin-thusiast mates, while sipping gin cocktails crafted by the Barber Shop team and you'll find yourself very much tapping into the Christmas spirit.
The Christmas Gin Market runs from 6-9pm on Thursday, December 7 and Thursday, December 14. Find it at The Barber Shop, 89 York St, Sydney.
