IMBIBE | Science of Cocktails 2024 x Science World

aromatized gin & tonic (Sheringham Seaside gin, tonic water, and aromatic smoke bubble)

False Creek—(April 11, 2024) In its second year back in action, Science of Cocktails, the seventh annual signature charitable fundraiser, transformed Science World once again into another giant adults-only cocktail lab in support of its Bursary Program.

Studies in Flavour (Ketel One vodka, jasmine green tea, pandan liqueur, and coconut tincture spritz)

Eventgoers had thirty cocktail stations to choose from, with each serving a different handmade libation with a scientifically enhanced twist concocted by one of Vancouver's many gifted guest bartenders while mixing and mingling inside the city's domed science centre.

cold brew negroni (Luxardo espresso, Bitter Rosso, sherry, cold brew, and orange bitters)

Funds raised from the event go toward collaborating with British Columbia communities and organizations currently underrepresented in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) fields by providing them resources to visit Science World for free.

helium ramos (Fords gin, lemon, soda, sugar, and orange helium foam)

The Bursary Program provides inclusive access to remove barriers for tens of thousands of kids to visit Science World, including those from under-resourced schools, refugees, immigrants to Canada, neurodiverse people, those living with physical or developmental disabilities, and individuals with financial barriers.

cotton coco colada (Malibu rum, coconut cream, pineapple, and pineapple cotton candy)

Since its inception in 2016, Science of Cocktails has been key to raising funds to support Science World's access programming. The event has raised a total of $1¾-million, including this year's edition.

gin gin mule (Lumette!, lime, simple syrup, nitro-muddled mint, and ginger beer)

Efforts like SOC and other Science World programming aim to engage scientific learning in both adults and kids across all communities and identities. Serving specialty cocktails in a gala-type environment is a fun way to support these programs.
