Looks like a wonderful get-together... and a hell of a drink! I love herbal and vegetable elements with gin. Preeeeetty sure I could get in trouble with a few of those.

In reply to Sofia | From the Land we Live on. The plan is to share it! Though it really is about the ingredient, less about the preparation. And thank you for your warm words about the event - it's a lot of work, but not AS MUCH as I would have thought before I began doing these.

In reply to Colleen. Thanks so much!!! It was a hoot, and the gin was a large part of it. Let me know if you give it a try!

In reply to Nicoletta @sugarlovespices. It was a really special evening. If only I could just do the same event over and over again, I'd be so happy perfecting this one!

In reply to Carrie. I ALWAYS have gin on hand for the summer. It feels weird without it!

Wow! What a lovely and inspiring gathering. I love the concept, the food, and the drinks...everything sounds perfect! I can't imagine how much planning and effort goes into putting something like this together, but it looks like you're a natural <3 I would love to attend one of your gatherings one day. And....wild nettle pie? Please do share the recipe.

I have a passion for Great Gatsby and Daisy and all the 1920s! That would have been my kind of event! Great pictures that well describe the laid back atmosphere and great gin cocktail. Love the intriguing flavors and the look of it. So refreshing!

In reply to Dana. The celery is perfect here - it really makes it fresh and herbaceous. And I am glad you like the setting - we worked hard at imagining it all :P!!

In reply to Tina Dawson | Love is in my Tummy. You would just need to omit the gin, and no one would be the wiser!

In reply to Molly Kumar. It was a blast - for us organizers as well as for the participants. I am so lucky to live in a city where initiatives like this are met with genuine excitement and wonder! Do hope you'll give the Gin Rickey a try - it's become a summer fave for us.

In reply to Ali @ Home & Plate. Daisy (and the Great Gatsby) was in many ways the theme of the evening... though to a lot less excess, of course! Would have been happy to have you there :) Hope you can get the experience by tasting this cocktail at home!

This event was simply out-of-this-century (quite literally!)
Thank you for your hard work, patience and creativity! <3

What a fun event! That gin cocktail sounds right up my alley!

Now this looks like my kind of event! What a gorgeous setting! So Pinterest-y (okay, I hate using that as an adjective, but it's so fitting!) I've never seen celery used in a cocktail that wasn't a Caesar or a Bloody Mary - this is intriguing! I look forward to whipping it up :)

Oh what a fun evening! I don't drink alcohol, but would love to try this with soda instead!
