The battle of two gin (drink) titans! In the green corner, the clean, crisp, and elegant Martini; in the red corner, the bold, deep, and complex Negroni. Advocates of each drink will discuss their finer points and answer the audience’s questions and comments. Whichever drink gets the most drinks orders from the audience at the end of the session is the winner – culminating in a fun and a rather tasty finale.
