Beyond the Martini: Mastering the Spirit of Gin
Tuesday, October 15 & 22 at 6:00 pm

Session One: Let’s debunk the mysteries surrounding Gin, its origins, its making, evolution, and its revival on the craft cocktail scene in the early 2000s. Gin is one of the most misunderstood spirits of our time and our first session will dive deep into Gin’s beginnings in the Netherlands, its reformation in London, the distillation and infusion process, the mysteries and myths surrounding Gin and Genever, as well as an in-depth look into how modern Gin is made and distilled in Columbus, Ohio at Watershed Distillery.

Session Two: This session will take place at Shovel City Drinkery where you will learn how to mix/infuse your gin in several amazing cocktails you would never know were gin-based.
Takes place at:
Shovel City Drinkery, 181 N Main St, Marion, OH 43302

Each 1hr course is led by:
Andrea Mullins, co-owner/operator of Shovel City Drinkery. At 43 years of age, she retired from teaching foreign languages, and she and her husband, Derek, opened Shovel City Drinkery in downtown Marion, Ohio on September 21, 2020. She has worked in hospitality as a second career off and on for the past 20 years and has dabbled in mixology throughout that time. An avid Gin enthusiast, she will lead you on an educational journey of this elusive spirit in all its delicious forms.
