"No other gin tastes like it because no other gin is made like it."
Don't be fooled into believing that since Hendrick's Gin is infused with cucumber and rose petals that it isn't a spirit to be taken seriously. Take it seriously, it's that good.
This delicate gin produced in small batches stands on its own for many reasons. Its smooth flavor is suitable for drinking on the rocks or mixed with a myriad of mixers. Their website lists several recipes that fall into two categories: The Usual and The Unusual. I'd like to tell you I've had them all, but unfortunately where I live some of the more exotic ingredients aren't available. Fortunately I prefer it the simple way: With tonic and a slice of cucumber.
