SGSNY Happy Hour

Quarantine is easier with community!

Join us to chat, have a laugh and enjoy being ‘together apart’ at our virtual Happy Hour.

We’ll start off with a short cocktail-making session where our resident mixologist, David McNicoll, will show you how to make the evening's signature cocktail.

Then participants will be split into small breakout rooms. Groups will reshuffle and rotate every 10-15 minutes, so you'll have the opportunity to chat with a range of attendees.

All attendees will also be entered in our prize draw for a bottle of vodka courtesy of Smoke Lab Vodka!*

FREE for members
$10 for non-members

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Registration for this event is now closed.

David McNicoll | SGSNY Resident Mixologist

David McNicoll was born and raised in the Scottish Highlands. David moved to America in 2010, and has represented several Scotch whiskies as Brand Ambassador in New York. As well as whisky, he was also the Market Manager in NYC for Brockmans Gin before moving to work with a local distiller in Jersey City, Corgi. In early 2020 David published his first book on the subject of Scotch, The Language of Whisky, which looks at the individual whisky names and their meaning, and how Scotch fits in with the cultural heritage of Scotland. In addition, he hosts night-classes in the history of Scotland and freelances as a whisky specialist in private tasting sessions across the city. 

David retains close connections with friends and family back in Scotland; and returns when he can – especially in the capacity as a member of the last private regiment in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders: a ceremonial guard raised by the Duke of Atholl. He is married to an American lass and has eight-year-old twins to keep him on his toes.
