Star In a Glass: How Shoalers of Olde Once Quenched their Thirst

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink’ as the old saying goes but for the early Shoalers it was a daily reality. Fresh water, if they could get it, was often more dangerous to drink than going without. Join us for a spirited look at the ways early Shoalers once quenched their thirst – from their infamous and often insatiable love of rum to more elaborate potations and libations with names like flips, toddies, slings and grog.
