While many pink gins on the market offer a garish pink colour with an often overly-sweet taste, Hendrick’s new Midsummer Solstice is the upscale answer to the floral G&T trend. The floral-inspired gin is the first release from the Master Distiller’s Cabinet of Curiosities at the new Hendrick’s Gin Palace and is the perfect summer sipper.
Inspired by nature’s most vivid bouquets, Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice is a small-batch, limited-edition gin created by Hendrick’s Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie. The unconventional new release is infused with an arrangement of secret floral essences chosen to enhance the existing flavours of the original Hendrick’s house style, including the gin’s signature essences of rose and cucumber. The result is a wonderfully refreshing gin that blossoms on the palate — new flavours, but yet, still unmistakably Hendrick’s.
The Midsummer Solstice’s fragrant notes include zesty juniper with undertones of orange blossom and exotic ripeness. It’s sweet and slightly fruit-forward on the nose with an overall fruity, floral flavour on the palate. The classic Hendrick’s pine and juniper character, though mild, is still there. If you’re looking for more than just a pretty pink colour, then this flavourful new offering from Hendrick’s won’t disappoint.
If you’re still not sure how to drink it, try the Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Sprits. Best served in a wine glass full of cubed ice, combine 50ml Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice with 50ml sparkling wine and 150ml tonic water before garnishing with cucumber ribbon and a slice of orange.
