COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on our lifestyles – we’re staying in (and we implore you to, as well). Life has changed. Drastically. While it’s not permanent, it’s a big shift, and we’re all feeling it. While you’re doing the right thing (spatial and social distancing + self isolating), we’re updating you with what you need to know about all the things you love. How you can still eat, drink, consume, watch and buy the things that bring you joy. How you can continue to support Australian businesses, artists, creators, makers and more. How you can stay amused, active, educated and entertained at home. How we can all stay connected to the things that make us us.
On Saturday 13 June, Fever-Tree is bringing the ultimate celebration of the much-loved gin and tonic to the homes of G&T enthusiasts across Australia – introducing the world’s first on line Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival.
After the huge success of the inaugural Fever-Tree G&T Festival in 2019 and estimated more than 150 million G&Ts to be consumed across Australia this year, this online Festival will offer G&T lovers the opportunity to explore the world of gin and tonic with on line gin tasting experiences and masterclasses offering guests 90 minutes of gin and tonic goodness.
Running from 5.30 – 7pm, leading Australian bartenders will be on hand with recommendations on the ultimate style combinations with flavour-packed gins and a variety of signature tonics to help you spruce up an old favourite or transform your average tipple into a perfect G&T.
Gin distillers will be able to walk you through the history and process of creating some of the world’s best-loved gins and MasterChef Australia’s Simon Toohey will be on hand to share his perfect food pairings.
A limited number of festival packs will also be available for pre-purchase ($55) including eight gins, eight Fever Tree tonics, homemade garnishes from Fever-Tree’s Brand Ambassador Trish Brew as well as glassware and a tasting mat, basically everything to equip punters for the ultimate G&T tasting experience. For those who already have a fully stocked bar, the virtual festival is free to join (18+) with a link available on the night*.
The Festival aims to highlight the wonderful world of modern gin with local favourites Four Pillars and Adelaide Hills and international legends Bombay Sapphire and Hendrick’s Gin and many more. Fever-Tree’s Online G&T Festival is the perfect way for G&T lovers to taste and explore the finest pairings on offer around Australia and the world and expand their knowledge of the humble G&T, all from the comfort of home.
Purchase an early bird ticket now before they’re sold out, to ensure you don’t miss out. Let the festivities be-gin!
