On the docket for Tuesday is a Gin Experience hosted by Jasper’s Corner Tap & Kitchen (401 Taylor Street), one of the city’s hottest new eateries. Educate yourself on this lovable libation as Distillery No. 209 drops some serious Juniper knowledge with a mixture of custom and classic Gin cocktails. Renowned in-house chef Adam Carpenter will provide a special assortment of high-minded hors d’oeuvres to accompany the tasting.
