EASTON, MARYLAND — Avalon Lobby Bar, 40 East Dover Street, Easton. Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Gin 101: Make Your Own Gin, presented by McClintock Distilling. Tickets $40, fees not included. Limited to patrons 21 and over, per Avalon’s event page.

Avalon says guests taste their way through gin history — traditional Dutch genever to modern flavored gins — and learn ingredients, botanicals, processes, and flavors. After the tasting, each person makes a custom botanical blend and takes home that blend, an infusion jar, and a bottle of McClintock’s Epiphany Vodka to finish the gin at home. McClintock provides tasting samples, botanicals, materials, and instruction. Avalon names Braeden Bumpers, co-founder and head distiller, as the class leader and notes McClintock as an award-winning organic distillery in Frederick, Maryland.

Avalon’s page states food and additional cocktails will be available for purchase in the Avalon Lobby Bar.
