Inside this immersive attraction, visitors would enter and be asked to put on protective suits - what Rhoda Buchanan of The Times calls Oompa loopa suits in Alcoholic Architecture: the UK’s first walk-in cocktail. They then enter a Gin & Tonic mist-filled bar and for the next 40 minutes soak in the alcoholic vapor. It was the first walk-in cocktail and had to have been quite the experience given the deep aromatics of a G&T.
The walk-in G&T was likely not as satisfying as sitting down with the liquid form, but that 40 minutes of fog is said to be equivalent to 1 cocktail. To calculate the amount of alcohol taken in by visitors, the team consulted with engineers and chemists and came up with the perfect formula. It takes 6 liters of alcohol - Hendrick's Gin and Fever Tree Tonic - to fuel the "mistifier" for one round. Listen to an interview on the Good Food podcast (starts at 7 minute mark).
If available, would you use a walk-in cocktail? I think it would be fun and one of those travel experiences that you couldn't miss but I will stick with the liquid libation.
