The Royal "Bathtub Jenever" - a Gin Dining Experience

The Royal "Bathtub Jenever" is a unique gin dining experience that explores the spirit’s rich history. From its medicinal origins in the 11th century to the "Dutch Courage" of 17th-century soldiers, gin has shaped cultures worldwide. Guests will enjoy dishes like gin-cured salmon with fennel beetroot jam and a refreshing Pimm’s fruit lemonade while uncovering gin’s turbulent past, including the infamous Gin Craze and the rise of "bathtub gin" during Prohibition.

The journey continues with Paratha Bharwan Rogan Josh lamb, a Tanqueray Gin & Tonic sorbet spider, and inventive cocktails like the “Moonshine Bubble Bath.” Each course pays tribute to gin’s global influence, from the British Gymkhana Club’s gin and tonic to Prohibition-era speakeasies. The evening ends with a decadent Bees Knees pudding, celebrating classic gin cocktails and the enduring legacy of this beloved spirit.
