Host the most marvelous nights of merrymaking with festive Hendrick’s pours
Make the year-end celebrations an exceedingly easy affair with an array of delicious festive cocktails that are spectacularly simple yet incredibly impressive.
With all of the flair and none of fuss, spread the holiday cheer and raise a glass to those near and dear with the classic Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic. A splendid signature that couldn’t be simpler, this classic celebrates the distinct and unusual flavours of Hendrick’s Gin and its wondrous craft as every sip unravels its unique infusions of cucumber and rose. Light and refreshing, the Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic is perfect to kickstart the evening as you welcome guests to the party.

To add some sparkle to the toasts, the Hendrick’s French 75, also known as Soixante Quinze in French, packs the flavoursome punch of aromatic gin, bubbly champagne and freshly squeezed lemon in one delicate flute. Reserved for the most special of occasions, this historic cocktail is best shared with only the greatest of friends.
