Highly anticipated Science of Cocktails returns this spring and tickets are now on sale

For one night only, Science World is transforming into the world’s largest cocktail laboratory for the return of a highly anticipated fundraiser.

The Science of Cocktails is officially returning after a three-year hiatus on Thursday, April 27. And tickets are on sale now.

Vancouver’s most popular cocktail fundraiser brings together the city’s most talented bartenders and chefs to showcase the chemistry, biology, and physics behind preparing modern cocktails and cuisine. And it’s all to raise funds for an important cause.
