Hendrick’s Gin is a popular choice of liquor for many Singaporeans who are fans of the famous cocktail – gin and tonic. Light, refreshing and thirst-quenching, what is there not to love about this cocktail? But have you tried anything other than the original Hendrick’s Gin crafted from eleven delicate botanicals?
The original Hendrick’s Gin might be the go-to gin under the brand, but why not give the other gins a shot too? Who knows, you might just add another bottle of gin to your list of favourites. Read on for a comprehensive list of Hendrick’s gin for your next weekend soiree.
The Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice
The Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin celebrates nature’s most vivid blooms packed in a bottle. It is infused with natural flavours and floral essences post-distillation, and its tasting notes are sweet and extremely fruity on the nose. The aroma begins with raspberries, roses and strawberries. You will taste lavender, strawberry and rose hips early on the palate and a spicy hit of sandalwood and pine mid-palate. At the same time, the fruit notes become drier and take on the flavour of prickly pear fruit and dragonfruit. It finishes with gentle spice, mild pine and leaves your palate fresh.
Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice is a small batch, limited edition bottle of gin from Hendrick’s Gin. The brand likens it to a fleeting holiday romance with the lifespan of a mayfly. Grab this exclusive gin before it is gone forever.
How to Enjoy It
Experience the beauty of Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice in a Midsummer Spritz – a zesty concoction of elderflowers with a zip of soda and fresh cucumber. Simply mix 50ml of Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice, 50ml sparkling wine and 150ml tonic water with ice and garnish with an orange and cucumber slice.
The Hendrick’s Lunar
Deeply floral and richly aromatic, the Hendrick’s Lunar Gin is an intriguing combination of the refreshing and the warm, specially crafted to be savoured on a special evening watching the sun go down and admiring the moon charge the sky – perfect for a night of slow drinking and nice conversations.
Hendrick’s Lunar creator Lesley Gracie describes this special bottle as one with “rich aroma of night-scented flowers with a background of a refreshing burst of citrus.”.
Its nose is softly peppery with hints of lavender, hibiscus and rose, staying true to the botanical gin branding. The palate is spicy with mellow juniper, lemongrass and rosewater and a touch of orange in the background. It finishes vanilla, orange and lemongrass.
How to Enjoy It
You will be happy to hear that you can enjoy Hendrick’s Lunar simply in a Gin and Tonic like you are used to. Thoroughly combine 50ml of Hendrick’s Lunar and 150ml of tonic water on ice, then garnish with a twist of black pepper and cucumber slices.
Hendrick’s Orbium
According to Hendrick’s, this is what Hendrick’s Gin would taste like in a parallel universe. The gin is a reimagination of the original Hendrick’s Gin, instilled with additional extracts of quinine, wormwood and blue lotus blossom and the result? An exquisite gin that sits roundly on the palate.
While Hendrick’s Orbium is distilled the same way as the original Hendrick’s Gin, the brand took it in another direction by infusing flavours found in tonic and vermouth plus a touch of blue lotus blossom which balances the overall taste. The trinity of essences creates a complex gin with surprising brightness and a long finish, evolving from floral into a deep and alluring bitter note.
How to Enjoy It
If you are one to enjoy a tipple of martini, you will be glad to find out that the Hendrick’s Orbium Gin works perfectly in one. Simply combine 60ml of Hendrick’s Orbium and 3ml of dry vermouth with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and garnish the cocktail with lemon zest and cucumber slices.
