The team at Bars2You are avid gin drinkers, and so we were delighted to be approached by Emira and Paul, the friends behind 'The Gin to my Tonic' blog recently. They asked us to create a bespoke rustic portable bar for their 'The Gin To my Tonic Christmas Festival' which took place in Harrogate over two days - 30th November to 1st December.

This fun and exciting show allows gin lovers to discover the wonderful world of gin by bringing together over 80 different gins from across the World. The £10 gets you entry (with proof of ID), a branded Gin Copa Glass, live entertainment, and access to gin sampling stands and cocktail making classes and workshops. It's a great way to be able to talk to the people behind your favourite tipple, and maybe pick up a tip or two on how to make your favourite cocktail even better.

If you're unsure as to whether to attend or not, let's look at some reasons why you should:

• Our amazing bespoke bars, for one!
• Unlimited gin tastings
• Sensory world tour, featuring gins from Australia, France, Germany, Holland, New Zealand, Sri-Lanka, USA and of course the UK
• Tonic tasting - with some unusual flavours such as Blood Orange & Cinnamon, Raspberry & Blackberry, and Pink Pepper
• Gin garnishes - think outside the box when it comes to gin garnishes - such as Japanese sansho berries and Brighton rock!

We worked closely with The Gin to My Tonic team to produce a fantastic rustic wooden portable bar unit with their branding featured on the front. Matching perfectly with the rest of the rustic winter theme, they were the perfect place for the unlimited tastings and garnish tutorials to take place. The Gin to My Tonic team were thrilled with the end result, saying: "We are over the moon! So great working with you guys!"

In fact, they were so pleased with the branded mobile bars that we produced for them, that we are now working with them for the rest of their festivals over the next twelve months including:

• The Gin to My Tonic Festival Watford - 2nd February 2019
• The Gin to My Tonic Show Glasgow - 15th to 17th March 2019
