World Gin Day 2024: A party is not a party until a bottle of gin is cracked open.

Gin and tonic are a combo made for heaven, and we know why we love it. The strong aroma and the citrus taste of gin adds more flavour to the party and is always the main attraction.

As we gear up to celebrate the special day, here are a few things that we should know.

Soon Emma and Neil became tight gin friends and brought the celebrations to London in 2010. The celebrations happened in a little gin bar called Graphic in Soho. Since then, World Gin Day is observed every year. Soon, Emma took up charge officially to celebrate the day, as Neil had other work commitments. World Gin Day is observed every year in multiple countries.
