You can’t deny the role of Toast and Tonic in bringing about gin’s renaissance. It’s only natural the place would celebrate International Gin Day. Gin guru John Leese has a line-up of five stellar gin cocktails over the weekend to ring in Gin Day on June 8. With botanicals like lavender, hibiscus and macadamia nuts, we’re itching to try these creative cocktails. And oh, you get two free cocktails if you try at least four gin cocktails. The celebrations run from June 7 to June 9, 2019. More information can be found here.
