Step right up to the world of Hendrick’s GRAND CABARET, a limited-edition gin crafted for dreamers, artists, and those with a flair for the fabulous.
This exquisite spirit draws its inspiration from the vibrant libations that once graced the refined salons of Paris in the early 20th century. With its intoxicating blend of stone fruit and sweet herbs, GRAND CABARET is set to charm the senses and elevate any gathering to new heights of indulgence.
Hendrick’s Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, embarked on a historical journey to revive the essence of a beloved Parisian eau de vie, traditionally served with gin and a hint of rose. This endeavor led her to explore the rich tapestry of stone fruit spirits—peach schnapps, cherry liqueurs, and all those delicious concoctions that were once the toast of the town. “When you put these different stone fruit flavors together, they give you a nice rich depth of flavor. I added sweet herbs to round the vibrant fruit out,” Gracie explains, celebrating the gin’s decadent yet refreshingly light profile.
The GRAND CABARET bottle itself is a nod to the opulent gatherings from which it was inspired. With its luxurious purple hue and eclectic design adorned with intriguing icons like a stunning chandelier, it promises to be a showstopper on any shelf.
As if the gin wasn’t captivating enough, Hendrick’s Gin has partnered with The Emerald Room in Darlinghurst to host a series of exclusive cabaret shows. Launching on Wednesday, October 2, these events promise an evening of passion and poetry, all complemented by sips of GRAND CABARET. Guests are in for a treat as they are greeted by living bouquets of flowers and guided to their seats by a cast of characters embodying gin garnishes from cucumbers to pineapples.
James Macrae, Hendrick’s Gin Brand Ambassador, describes the experience as an immersive journey into the world of GRAND CABARET. “Inspired by Paris’ Crazy Horse and NYC’s The Box, The Emerald Room will offer gin enthusiasts a unique taste sensation with pirouettes of decadent stone fruit and shimmies of sweet herb.”
For those looking to toast in style, try the GRAND CABARET Royale—a luxurious mix of cranberry, lime, sugar syrup, topped with Champagne or sparkling wine. It’s a drink that speaks to the grandeur of the gin itself.
Tickets to this one-of-a-kind event at The Emerald Room can be snagged at Eventbrite, and for those wanting to experience GRAND CABARET in the comfort of their own homes, it’s available at Dan Murphy’s for $78.99.
Hendrick’s GRAND CABARET joins the esteemed Cabinet of Curiosities, standing alongside other innovative expressions like AMAZONIA, FLORA ADORA, LUNAR, MIDSUMMER SOLSTICE, and NEPTUNIA.
