There are no secrets to superb festive gin cocktails - just simple, unfeasibly delicious recipes. These are peculiarly perfect for hosting at home or enjoying out and about in festive frivolity with friends. Once tasted, you will long for these winter cocktails each year.
FRENCH 75
Whatever the festive season serves you, serve your friends and fellow cocktail companions a gathering to remember. Spontaneous festive parties deserve a cut of dash, and the spectacular French 75 cocktail is without doubt the most dashing of celebratory sups.
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. This is the classic gin cocktail beloved by gin lovers across the world.
HOT GIN OLD FASHIONED
Warm the cockles of any cocktail party with the jubilantly magnificent HOT GIN OLD FASHIONED. If you have yet to try a hot old fashioned with gin then hold on to your wooly hat, for you are in for a festive treat.
HOT SPICED APPLE
The magic of a festive party demands the delicious and warming wonder of the Hot Spiced Apple. This is an uproariously enjoyable marriage of hot apple cider and your favourite HENDRICK’S GIN to welcome guests in from the snow.
HENDRICK’S MARTINI
The Martini, that singing symphony of liquid, was described as “the elixir of quietude” by author E. B. White. The origin story of this drinkable poem is a contentious issue, and as emotive and important a subject as how best to prepare the drink itself. Since its invention sometime in the 19th century, the Martini has slinked across our collective imagination in literature, cinema and song. Here we meet the flavours of gin in a primal, pure form. This classic of classic gin cocktails, this melodious master, is further heightened when it entertains HENDRICK'S GIN herself.
NEGRONI
Ready the Campari, and prepare for the perfect aperitivo! The NEGRONI is the epitome of the classic cocktail. Watch bartenders tremble in fear as it is ordered, as a perfect NEGRONI marks you out as the distinguished cocktailier.
