Craft Cocktail & History In St. Georges

OVERVIEW

Stroll through the enchanting streets of St. George – the oldest English settlement in the New World – and stop for cocktails at some of its most historical landmarks. You will walk among 17th- and 18th-century buildings that are so architecturally important that UNESCO named St. George a World Heritage site. The first stop will be Stewart Hall, an atmospheric stone cottage that has been repurposed as a perfumery. As you hear about the history of the building, a mixologist will make you a cocktail using local ingredients that include Goslings spirits, which have been produced in Bermuda since 1806. Similarly, at the Mitchell House Museum, you will enjoy a classic Bermudian cocktail while browsing its exhibits. The Globe Hotel occupies an even older building as you will discover while touring its garden, again with a cocktail in hand. You will toast the island’s history once more with a glass of prosecco at the gift shop Long Story Short.
