Deathly dames, headless horsemen & gothic grog: Drinks that surrender to darkness
From the Addams family women and Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent; to writers like Ann Radcliff, Mary Shelley and Charlotte Bronte; and tales from the likes of Sleep Hollow and Psycho, this month's Wet Ink talk and tasting will take guests on an ominous journey through some of history's most spinetingling, macabre and gothic tales - and the subcultures that inspired them.
Hosted by spirits writer and expert Millie Milliken, the evening will take guests through a tasting of five spirits brought to life through some of modern history's darkest characters and stories. From whisky and rum, to gin, agave and more, this one promises to be a particularly spooky evening.
Tickets: £25 (includes welcome cocktail, admission to the talk, and a tasting of 5 spirits)
When: Monday 1 September, 6.30pm-9pm
