Attention, G&T lovers: The Las Vegas chapter of the United States Bartenders’ Guild is inviting the public to help create the world’s largest gin and tonic from 5-9 p.m. Monday at Apex Social Club at the Palms.

The event will be submitted to Guinness World Records, and proceeds will benefit Keep Memory Alive.
