where Gin Palace opens its door early, providing G&T’s and cocktails from 12pm. There are several ticketed events running during the day
including a Bombay Sapphire takeover of the adjoining Swamp Room. Bring a friend and Gin Palace will buy them a Gin drink for every
one you purchase until the gin runs out. Two for one Martinis, Negronis, Gin Fizzs, Old Fashioneds and G&Ts. Meet Andrew Marks of MGC,
Jeremy Spencer of West Winds, Chris Hysted 2009 Australian Bartender of the year and Sebastian Raeburn Cocktail expert.
