Gin and Vodka: What's the Difference?
Week 2 | W | Turner 106 | Ages 21 and up
An overview of the history of the world's two major "white spirits": gin and vodka. Along with their history, we will explore the modern production and the major differences between the two — sometimes opposing — spirits. At the end, students will taste each and choose between the two to make a classic cocktail to explore how a different base can drastically change a drink.
