HENDRICK'S GIN, Scotland

The rose petals give it a soft floral finish that plays beautifully with the cucumber in a classic gin and tonic. My go-to for summer evenings on the patio with a slice of lime.

I was skeptical about the cucumber note, but it actually makes the gin incredibly smooth and refreshing with a standard tonic. The rose petals add a subtle floral layer that doesn't overpower the juniper at all.

The cucumber and rose petals make this gin taste incredibly smooth, even sipping it neat over ice. Mixed with a light tonic, the juniper comes through perfectly without being overwhelming.
