There are no secrets to superb festive gin cocktails – just simple, unfeasibly delicious, recipes. Once tasted, you will long for the following winter cocktails to visit your home every year.
FRENCH 75
A thunderous accompaniment to New Year’s Eve. The glorious kick of the French 75 has been enlivening celebrations since 1915. Known simply as the ‘Soixante Quinze’ in France, it is an essential accompaniment to celebrations large or small. It is essentially a Tom Collins where the soda is replaced with Champagne. Now contemplate that for a moment…yes, it is as good as it sounds.

HENDRICK’S GIN & TONIC
HENDRICK’S GIN & Tonic is the grand empress of all summer refreshments and remains an unimpeachable selection for those seeking a long cool diversion from the sun’s ultraviolet extravagances. Its beloved simplicity suits slow afternoons on the lawn, sultry trysts in orchards or animated summer lunches with favoured guests.

HOT GIN OLD FASHIONED
A warm punch to greet friends in from the cold. A remarkable ‘unscrooger’ to warm the festive cabin of the heart.

HOT SPICED APPLE
For winter garden parties and the warming of carol singers. Sup with misty breath from a flask in a fir forest, or warm the cockles of loved ones at a winter party, the HOT SPICED APPLE is served best with good cheer.

MR MICAWBER’S HOT GIN PUNCH
A mulled hot gin punch to warm the cockles and melt the stalactites. Featuring honey, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a dalliance of HENDRICK’S GIN and Madeira Wine.
