BIGGER THAN SNOOP DOGG'S GIN & JUICE (WORLD RECORD) | Master Your Glass

On this episode of MYG I show a time lapse of how I coordinated the winning of the Guinness Book of World record for the world’s largest Gin & Tonic. (Sorry to have beaten your previous record @snoopdogg. Music is your thing and cocktails are mine!)
On November 5th , 2018 the United States Bartenders’ Guild’s (USBG) Las Vegas Chapter broke Guinness World Records for the largest gin and tonic to benefit Keep Memory Alive at Apex Social Club at the Palms Casino Resort.
The 300-gallon vessel sat on the patio of the venue with beautiful views of the Las Vegas Strip as attendees poured a bottle of Empress gin into the vessel and became part of the record themselves.
The world’s largest G&T was mixed in a 300-gallon acrylic glass, required more than 400 bottles of gin, 165 gallons of tonic water and approximately 5.5 gallons of lime juice.
The event kicked-off Keep Memory Alive’s Month of Memories initiative in appreciation for Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. All proceeds generated from the event were donated to Keep Memory Alive, which supports Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
The funds helped to continue to support clinical research and programs as well as free caregiver resources at the center.
Alzheimers is a devastating disease and the only top 10 cause of death in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
An estimated 5.7 million Americans of all ages are already living with Alzheimers dementia in 2018 and today, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s every 65 seconds.
The Best Food and Drink in Every State
“We are so excited to be part of breaking a Guinness World Records title which in turn benefited an amazing cause for our community,” said Raul Faria, President of the Las Vegas Chapter of the United States Bartender’s Guild, which organized the making of the record-breaking beverage. “As a group of some of the most well-respected bartenders in the industry here in Vegas, it was only natural we would break this title.”
To give the drink its striking blue look, Empress 1908 gin, known for its indigo color, was selected, along with Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic water and approximately 5.5 gallons of lime juice. It was created on the rooftop patio of the Apex Social Club inside the Palms Casino Resort.
The event raised more than $10,000 for the nonprofit group Keep Memory Alive, which works to find a cure for memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. The record-breaking drink kicked off the nonprofit’s November initiative, Month of Memories, in support of National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Guests who donated $50 to the nonprofit were allowed to become part of the world record by pouring a bottle of gin into the drink.
When all the pouring was done, the drink was garnished with a giant lime wedge made of ice, and the drink was served to guests.
The gigantic G&T wasn’t the only gin-based record-breaker of 2018. Back in May, rapper Snoop Dogg helped mix the world’s largest gin and juice, inspired by his 1993 hit song, “Gin and Juice.”
That drink featured 180 bottles of Hendricks gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy, and 38 jugs of orange juice
