Join us in the lobby bar at The Davenport Historic Hotel for a relaxed, drop-in happy hour celebrating one of the world's most iconic cocktails: the Gin & Tonic. This educational yet approachable event explores the fascinating history behind the G&T — how it came to be, why it became one of the most popular drinks of all time, and the surprising role tonic water originally played as medicine.
We'll dive into how early tonics were used for their quinine content, how flavor took a back seat for decades, and why today's Gin & Tonics are better than ever thanks to thoughtfully crafted mixers like Fever-Tree. Paired with Ford's Gin, discover how quality ingredients and balance transform a simple cocktail into something exceptional.
This event is a casual, come-and-go experience during event hours — perfect for cocktail enthusiasts, history buffs, or anyone looking to enjoy a well-made drink in good company. Proudly presented in partnership with Davenport Hotels, Ford's Gin, and Fever-Tree as part of Spokane Cocktail Week.
Pull up a seat, grab a G&T, and raise a glass to history — reimagined.
