Recipe: 3 cocktails for the festive season
MANILA, Philippines — Bring your holiday get-togethers up a notch with some smooth gin-based cocktail drinks that you can share with family and friends as you update each other on what has been going on in your respective lives the past year or so.
Hendrick’s Gin presents three new cocktail drinks that are guaranteed to kick up your celebration and make it more vibrant and festive: Hendrick’s French 75, Hendrick’s Cranberry Fizz, and Hendrick’s & Tonic.
The brand combines a distinct blend of eleven botanicals, as well as the signature infusions of cucumber and rose petals, producing a wonderfully refreshing gin with a delightfully unique aroma.
Hand-crafted in Scotland in miniscule batches by William Grant & Sons, Hendrick's is the only gin that uses a marriage of spirits from both Carterhead and Bennett Copper Pot Still, a combination that produces a divinely smooth gin that has both the required character and balance of subtle flavors.
In 2018, the Hendrick's Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, was awarded Gin Distiller of the Year by the World Gin Awards in recognition of her ground-breaking work.
Besides being a versatile and thoughtful present for any gin enthusiast with its distinct flavor profile and beautifully designed bottle, Hendrick’s Gin makes a good addition to your home bar because you can stir or shake up a number of both classic and unique new cocktail drinks with it. It can transform every sip into a whimsical delight.
