False Creek—(April 27, 2023) Science of Cocktails, the sixth annual sold-out signature charitable gala fundraiser, finally made its libatious return after a three-year hiatus to once again transform Science World into the world's largest cocktail laboratory—all in support of its Bursary Program.

Featuring over thirty bar stations, each serving different creative and scientifically hand-crafted cocktail drinks, the adults-only evening of libations engaged some of Vancouver's most talented bartenders as guests mixed and mingled inside the city's iconic science centre.

This year, SOC's big return with a later spring date featured a sunny, warmer vibe to the festivities inside the jam-packed venue full of eagerly jovial guests looking to get their drink on.

After a pandemic-forced absence, it was nicer than ever to see so many local bartenders and various caterers all together in one place serving patrons in support of a good cause.

Proceeds from SOC's ticket sales—totalling nearly $1½-million since its inception in 2016, including over $285,000 this year—provide free access to tens of thousands of kids and families from across the province who may not otherwise be able to visit the dome.

Last year, over thirty-thousand visitors benefited from these bursaries thanks to fundraising efforts like Science of Cocktails.
