BAYSIDE SPARKLING SANGRIA
Cocktail captains! Set a course from the windswept NEPTUNIA Coast with a delicious sangria. Sweet spices of falernum, fresh fruits, bay leaves, and sparkling wine converge with the seaside botanicals and citrus blast of NEPTUNIA. Invite all your mates for this unusually refreshing cocktail.
COMMODORE’S GARDEN PUNCH
This punch may be as alluringly indigo as an island lagoon but don’t be misled by the playful hue and floral decoration. Anchoring these sapphire fathoms is HENDRICK’S NEPTUNIA, a gin as sturdy as Her Majesty’s fleet. Its seaside botanicals and citrus essences are balanced with the addition of coconut and elderflower. This entertaining concoction completes garden parties both at sea and on land.
HENDRICK’S NEPTUNIA Fizz
Other gin cocktails are of course desirable, but few match the outlandish wonder of the HENDRICK’S NEPTUNIA GIN Fizz. It is impossible to avoid bias when speaking of this masterpiece. Something about the ravishingly refreshing opera of flavour of the HENDRICK’S NEPTUNIA Fizz inspires lifelong loyalty. Judge for yourself, we’re extremely confident you’ll agree.
SONIC SPRITZ
A double bubble of club soda and tonic water lift the delectably delicate hints of lotus blossom and wormwood to the surface of the Sonic Spritz, a casually constructed cocktail suited to lazy days, lakeside frolics and wherever singular refreshment is required.
Yuzu Unusual
Steamy summer days require uncommon refreshment. Introducing the Yuzu Unusual, an effervescent spritz starring the fantastically floral yuzu citrus. As dazzling as a sun reflecting off a walrus’s tusks!
Peach Blossom
Is there a summer experience more sublime than eating a perfectly ripe peach? Yes! Drinking a HENDRICK’S Peach Blossom. Imagine all the sweet, juicy, floral deliciousness of fresh fruit, and none of the sticky nectar dripping down your arm. Sounds like a win-win, complemented by the curious cucumber and rose botanicals of HENDRICK’S GIN. An altogether divine affair.
Hibiscus Collins
An effervescent addition to sun-washed happy hours and summer flings, HENDRICK’S Hibiscus Collins sparkles with superb refreshment. As effortless to make as it is to enjoy, a simple gin and soda in a marvelously magenta disguise. Mix one up and fancy in the refreshing island rhythms of this easygoing delight.
BUZZWORD
There’s a First Word cocktail and a Last Word cocktail but when something in between is required, consider the Buzzword, a peculiar potion of HENDRICK’S, Drambuie, blanc vermouth and lemon. Shaken and served up, this suave old soul is the sort of sipper that still has energy to outlast its junior comrades.
Unusual Frosé
Oh, the curious whims of evolution! Can science explain the latest transformation of the rosé-to-frosé? Made with HENDRICK’S and two types of bitters because you’re anything but basic, the Unusual Frosé has been observed in waterfront wilds from Cornwall to Malibu. It is truly the frosty pink mascot of the summer.

Thrill your guests
with the first sip of summer:
Refreshing HENDRICK’S
Cucumber Lemonade
Banish thoughts of a complicated event to another day. Today we are thinking about cocktail ideas for a small gathering of your very closest friends. Perhaps in a garden, you meet and talk in the brilliant sunshine – sharing your usual silly jokes – is this a secret garden party? Well, you haven’t invited everyone, so it is to some extent. As the Cucumber Lemonades joyously fizz, the afternoon becomes a rip-roaring success! Not all cocktail ideas for parties need preparation; snatching the sunshine requires a carefree spontaneity (though planning to prepare a crisp, cool batch of cocktails is a marvelous idea).
How to host a
HENDRICK’S Summer party
There are a thousand gazillion reasons to host a party in Summer, with arguably the most important being ‘because it is an utter delight’– though coming a close second is that it is an ideal occasion to share the scrumptious merriment of the very best summer cocktails. Encourage guests to wear bright floral clothing (those who prefer more somber colored attire may adorn their hat with a flower). We recommend light food, light merry music and easy gin cocktails. The first fun cocktails of the day are best served in bright sunshine, culminating in Summer gin cocktails beneath a star-blessed night sky.
HENDRICK’S GIN
The original HENDRICK’S GIN. Deliciously infused with Rose and Cucumber.
HENDRICK’S GIN, with its distinctly elegant black bottle is the most beloved of gin gifts. An unusual gin created from eleven fine botanicals, this is a most distinguished Scottish gin gift. The curious, yet marvelous, infusions of rose & cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavor resulting in an impeccably smooth and distinct gin.
