Celebrate World Gin Day – June 14

World Gin Day is the perfect excuse to raise a glass to one of the world’s most beloved spirits. Celebrated globally each June, it’s all about enjoying and appreciating gin—whether you’re a classic G&T loyalist or a craft gin connoisseur.

Did you know? Gin was originally used for medicinal purposes in the 17th century and was once thought to cure everything from gout to the plague. Thankfully, it’s evolved into a far more enjoyable experience.

For a top-tier gin celebration, head to Dan Murphy’s at Kiaora Place. Their shelves are stocked with premium international and Australian craft gins, from Four Pillars to Hendrick’s. Pick up a bottle and mix up a Dry Martini at home:

Prefer someone else to do the mixing? Book a table at Ruma Dining, where their curated gin list includes labels like Brookie’s Byron Bay and Roku. Pair your G&T or Negroni with a standout dinner menu and enjoy a relaxed evening with friends.

World Gin Day isn’t just a toast—it’s an invitation to explore something new.
