Make mine a double: Gin two ways

Like gin? Then you'll love two new gin offerings in Dublin. Every Thursday until July 2nd at Gin Lane at House on Leeson Street, gin experts Ciara Farrell and Rafael Agapito will lead a masterclass in gin appreciation at the Beefeater Gin Lane Market experience. Designed to teach gin fans about botanicals and distilling, it's free and drinks are discounted to €5. See housedublin.ie.

Or book a two-hour session at Lillie’s Lab at Lillie’s Bordello where Ireland’s first nightclub micro-distillery has been created. The team will guide you through the creation and distillation of your own flavoured gin or vodka using fruits, berries and botanicals. €45 based on 10 people. Tel: 01-679 9204.
