Ingredients:

  • 1 part (50mL) Hendrick’s Gin
  • 3 parts (150mL) Tonic water
  • 3 thinly sliced rounds of cucumber

Combine all ingredients in a highball filled with cubed ice. Lightly stir, and garnish with 3 thinly sliced rounds of cucumber and a twist of lemon, and serve.

Hendrick’s Cranberry Fizz features a blend of Hendrick’s Gin, cranberry juice, and any choice of soda or sparkling wine. It is best served in a highball glass, garnished with a slice of cucumber.

Ingredients:

  • 1 part (30mL) Hendrick’s Gin
  • 2 parts (60mL) Cranberry Juice
  • 1 part (30mL) Sparkling Wine or Soda Water
  • Cucumber Slices, Mint sprig & Cranberries to Garnish

Combine all ingredients in a highball filled with cubed ice. Lightly stir before garnishing with 2 thinly sliced rounds of cucumber, cranberries and mint.

Lastly, the Hendrick’s French 75, which is known as “Soixante-Quinze” in France, is an elegant cocktail composed of bright citrus, fragrant notes of Hendrick’s signature cucumber and rose, and topped with crisp bubbly Champagne.

Ingredients:

  • 1 part (30mL) Hendrick’s Gin
  • 1/3 part (10mL) Simple Syrup
  • 1/3 part (10mL) Lemon Juice
  • 3 parts (top) with Champagne
  • Lemon Twist to Garnish

Add Hendrick’s Gin, simple syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake well, and fine strain into a flute. Top with Champagne and finish with a lemon twist to garnish.

Aside from the three concoctions, Hendrick’s Gin celebrated Christmas with a festive menu, a wreath-making session, and special numbers from improv group Spit.

If you are game to celebrate Christmas outside the walls of your house, Hendrick’s Gin offers a festive menu of triumphant tipples at the following places: Southbank Café + Lounge, Lampara, Dr. Wine Poblacion and BGC, Admiral Hotel Lobby Lounge and Baccarat Room and Bar at Solaire Resort and Casino.
