So Saturday June 9th 2012 was World Gin Day. Apparently it falls on the second Saturday in June each year, and apparently I missed it. I mean I knew it happened, I saw it in my Twitter feed, but I had no gin. I could have had some but I was drinking beer and one beer led to another and gin just wasn’t celebrated. Excuses aside, another video of the week for you to watch.
This is David Wondrich in a video by Imbibe magazine making a classic Gin Holland Cocktail. I am posting this in Honor of World Gin Day so we can all celebrate belatedly.
Watching Wondrich’s careful technique and hearing the history as he tells it is a joy. We can all learn lots from the master cocktail historian. If you don’t know who David Wondrich is, it is time to learn.
Another round of boozy videos!
A Punch, a Thing of Beauty Be!
