Hendrick's Another Gin

The recipe keeps the rose and cucumber that define the house style and adds orange blossom and cacao beans. On the nose it is juniper lifted by bright, faintly sweet orange blossom. On the palate the familiar Hendrick's character picks up a velvety cacao note, then citrus leads into a smooth finish. The bottle is white.

The brand's own serve is a light spritz: the gin with apple juice, prosecco and soda, a splash of cherry liqueur, then cucumber slices, a cocktail cherry and a twist of lemon. For something simpler, a tall glass over plenty of ice with soda or tonic and a slice of orange keeps the orange blossom in front.
