Have you ever wondered how the gin behind the gin and tonics you sip with friends on Saturday nights is distilled? By the way, has the idea of creating your own gin recipe ever crossed your mind? If so, here’s an workshop that could delight you!
Hands-on workshops for creating your own gin recipe are, in fact, held at the Baccae Distillery, located not far from the Place de la Bastille in Paris’s 4th arrondissement! This former restaurant was transformed into a genuine urban distillery in 2018, and has since been producing French spirits — primarily gin, but also absinthe!
On the agenda for this workshop, offered at 65€ per person: an immersive tour of the house paired with a distillery visit, an introduction to gin, and the creation of your custom-made gin... all interspersed with a tasting of two cocktails crafted from the signature spirits of Baccae, ensuring a memorable evening. And of course, at the end of this roughly 2.5-hour session, you’ll head home with a 200mL bottle of your very own gin!
Crafting a gin recipe is an art in itself and is governed by certain rules, such as a tightly regulated balance of juniper and coriander. Don't panic, the Baccae team is here to share all the tips you need to create a perfect recipe that matches your tastes and desires!
Are you into citrus-flavored gin? Spicy gin? Herbal gin? From about thirty organic botanicals laid out on the tables, sniff, sample, weigh, and run trials in good company with your tablemates—usually three to four people per team—before sending everything to production!
Then you step back to watch the show playing out in the machines, and the drops slowly collecting in the stills, before tasting what it creates, neat or in a cocktail, and leaving with a bottle under your arm. And if it hits the spot, you can even order from Baccae a pack of 6 bottles for €200. A gift idea for your loved ones?
Great vibes and a friendly, convivial atmosphere guaranteed!
