Step 1
Find a vessel that is large enough to hold 1,820ml (1.82 litres) of deliciously fruity Summer Punch, then add 500ml of Hendrick’s Gin.
Combine 200ml of fresh lemon juice with the Hendrick’s Gin and ice to create a zesty dimension to the cocktail.
Step 2
Accentuate the fruity flavour of this cocktail by adding 30ml of Maraschino liqueur to the punch, making your cocktail refreshingly sweet.
Add 90ml of elderflower cordial. This will add a hint of floral and citrus, perfectly complimenting the botanicals in Hendrick’s Gin.
Step 3
Pour 1000ml of cloudy apple juice and gently stir, allowing all ingredients to infuse together to create a beautifully balanced Summer Punch.
For the perfect time-saver simply make in advance and refridgerate before having friends round for cocktails.

A brief history
of Gin
Gin can be traced back to the Middle Ages, with a spirit flavoured with Genever (the Dutch word for Juniper) referenced in a 13th Century Flemish manuscript. Like many spirits, gin was originally produced as a medicine to treat conditions such as dyspepsia and gout and was popularly drank by British soldiers fighting the Dutch in the 17th Century. It made its way to Britain in the early 18th Century, being produced as homebrew in many British homes.
Hendrick’s Original
The original HENDRICK’S GIN. Deliciously infused with Rose and Cucumber.
HENDRICK’S is an unusual gin created from eleven fine botanicals. The curious, yet marvelous, infusions of rose & cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavour resulting in an impeccably smooth and distinct gin.
