Science of Cocktails is the name of an event at Science World Vancouver, that's been held three years in a row now.
The event, which took place on February 8th, saw over 35 mixologists and chefs from all over the city. By offering a vast range of unique cocktails and delectable food pairings that are made in an innovative fashion to demonstrate the role that science plays in their creation, Science of Cocktails is full of entertainment.
In addition to functioning as an exciting outing for the city's science fanatics and foodies, the event raises money for the museum's class-field-trip-program, which "gives underserved kids in the Lower Mainland the chance to visit Science World throughout the year." 2018's Science of Cocktails event was able to raise $276,695 for this cause, after serving more than 1,500 attendees.
