Hendrick’s unveils a whimsical limited-edition Midsummer Solstice Gin
Hendrick’s has launched a new limited-edition gin; Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice. The small batch gin is the first innovation to reach Australian shores since the flagship gin was released over 20 years ago. Described as “an enchantingly refreshing twist and floral bouquet that is perfect for light drinking as Australia prepares for the warmer months and longer evenings ahead,” Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice gin makes the ideal drink for the warmer months. The Midsummer Solstice gin has notes of berries, violet, hibiscus and rose hips, making a delectably floral gin and tonic. To celebrate the launch, Hendrick’s has transformed Sydney’s Paddington favourite, the Paddo Inn; renaming it and adorning it with flower installations by artist Dr Lisa Cooper, who collaborated with Hendrick’s master distiller Lesley Gracie to create the floral fixtures. Temporarily renamed the Paddo (G)inn, the local will be serving up specialty Midsummer Solstice cocktails and menus including the Most Unusual Lunch, a two-hour bottomless lunch which promises diners the chance to escape the conventional with a culinary adventure laced with delicious surprises. Hendrick’s will be celebrating the unusual and rewarding curiosity throughout the season, with Sydneysiders encouraged to enjoy the floral festivities. Look out for Hendrick’s floral London cabs and penny farthings which will traverse the streets of Paddington offering a delightful journey from the bar to the beach.
