East Imperial Gin Jubilee, the annual festival that celebrates everything related to gin, makes its way to Bangkok for the first time from 31 Jan- 4 Feb. Here’s a chance for you to explore the gin world, learn how to make the perfect gin & tonic from the city’s best bartenders and vote for the best bar that makes the perfect gin-based concoction.
17 bars across the city will be participating in the multi-day celebration, holding gin workshops and serving up their version of gin & tonic in the hopes of winning the best gin & tonic in Bangkok. The result will be announced on 4 Feb at the Gin Lane closing party at Quaint in Sukhumvit 61, where you will be able to sample the world’s top gin brands, like Hendrick's, Bombay Sapphire, Ford Gin and The Botanist.
You are welcome to vote for your favorite gin & tonic by posting a picture of the concoction of your choice on Instagram with the hashtag #GinJubilee2017. The bar that receives the most support will be invited to join the Singapore Cocktail Festival in March 2017.
