Raise a glass to World Gin Day, or simply try something new at home with these Hendrick's drinks recipes.
Distilled and bottled in Scotland, Hendrick’s Gin is made with 11 of botanicals, before being infused with rose and cucumber essences to give its distinctive taste.
The brand are also one of the first to deviate away from a traditional lemon or lime garnish, making a slice of cucumber in a Hendrick's G&T their calling card.
To celebrate World Gin Day this month, and give Hendrick's fans a chance to get creative at home, the brand has shared a range of drinks recipes - including a collaboration from Elysa McGuire of Edinburgh's Lucky Liquor.
Sarah Berardi, Hendrick’s brand ambassador for Scotland and the North of England comments: “Hendrick’s is so delightfully easy to work with.
"Its light florality elevates any cocktail, and the cucumber infusion adds a wonderful crisp finish. A nice long refreshing Hendrick’s highball is exactly what I want this summer, be it our Cucumber Lemonade or Elysa’s Green Thumb cocktail."
