If you’re bored by beer and tired of tequila, you’ll be very interested to hear about the much-anticipated event, Science of Cocktails, hosted at the Telus World of Science on Thursday, February 8, 2018.

Science of Cocktails is Science World’s signature fundraising event, where the city’s most talented bartenders and chefs come together to showcase the chemistry, biology and physics behind preparing stylish cocktails and cuisine. It’s an event like no other, with one-of-a-kind drinks and food that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. Plus, proceeds from tickets go towards a great cause.

Each ticket to the event includes access to drinks from 25+ bar stations curated by award-winning bartenders. Expect some smoke, fire, and safety goggles! The cocktails will be paired along with 12 food stations featuring molecular gastronomy from local talent.

Some examples of previous cocktail creations include drinks garnished with Rice Krispies, a ‘Frosé’ (think: blended rosé slushy), and a drink that will make your inner child happy with its cotton candy garnish.

Along with all the food and drink you can handle, there will also be a variety of special cocktail science activities, hands on demos, and classic Science World programming to keep you entertained throughout the evening.

This year, who knows how creative the cocktails will become with the bar set so high. Only time will tell!

Each ticket costs $159 each and sell out quickly, so make sure you pick up a couple soon! Ticket proceeds to raise funds for Science World’s Class Field Trip Bursary Program for underserved schools.
