In celebration of World Cocktail Day 2024 (13 May), Hendrick’s Gin has released three bespoke cocktail recipes for Irish gin lovers to turn their hand to Hendrick’s standard mixology.
Hendrick’s Gin has 11 distinct botanicals that are distilled only in small batches, using the rare “Carterhead” style, and alway including the brand’s signature infusion of cucumber and rose petals. This approach results in a flavour that is both refreshing and sophisticated.
