Trapeze Bar and Kitchen recently curated The Gin Fest 2022, in association with The Telegraph, which brought together a range of remarkable gin brands under the same umbrella. The three-day fest got brilliant reception with a craftily put-together range of cocktails at different counters, along with a scrumptious spread. The Telegraph was in the house.
“Enjoy this gin-tastic experience where everybody from connoisseurs to newbies are welcome to sip and explore the spirit and the gin garden, along with delicious nibbles and music,” said Dhruv Javeri, owner, Trapeze.
“This is a unique festival. People are gradually embracing gins. Numerous Indian brands are being recognised across the international market. This experience was wonderful with people shuttling between the counters and getting to know a bit more on their drink,” said Chong Sherpa, mixologist, Trapeze.
