Like many things that we now consider Indian, gin and tonic too is a hand-me-down of our colonial oppressors. The very first version of G&T as we now know it consisted of quinine (an antimalarial drug derived from the bark of a cinchona tree), water, sugar, lime, and gin. A medicinal concoction to save the lives of British officers. While this isn’t a very glamorous story, it does provide insight into a trend that’s slowly emerging.

In the last few years, ‘Gin-naissance’ has taken over the world and India is no exception to this growing trend of exploring gin and tonic beyond the traditional concoction that it is. Whether it’s the craft gin revolution that is slowly unfolding or the launch of India’s very first artisanal tonic water, Svami - gin is finding new life and appreciation with every passing day and we’re all here for it.

In fact, just last year, India witnessed its first gin festival in Delhi. The Gin Explorer’s Club, a two day celebration of all things gin, opened up new avenues of appreciation for the liquor. And after the raging success that it was, the Gin Explorers Club is back with an even more exciting second edition.

The Gin Explorers Club 2.0 is an acknowledgement of everything gin stands for - versatility, fun, experimentation. With 9 different gin brands from across the globe on offer for guests to come and experience at immersive pop-up bars, this time’s festival will also feature number of tasting sessions and workshops.

However, the experience doesn’t just stop at gin. There will also be a fabulous selection of pop-up restaurants and retail brands showcasing the best of food and lifestyle. Dive into Mexican, Asian and Indian flavours while sipping on your favourite cocktails and indulging in some much-needed retail therapy.

And if all this doesn’t already sound too good to be true - there’s also going to be music performances by artists like BLOT!, Dualist Inquiry, Tanya Nambiar and Lynston to wrap up the night.

So hurry up and get your tickets because it’s #GinOClock!
