Summerer Solstice is a small batch, limited edition from Hendrick's Gin. This flirtatiously floral incarnation of Hendrick's is perfect for day-casions, such as brunch and enjoying the summertime. Like a holiday romance or the lifespan of the mayfly, Midsummer Solstice is a poetic expression of temporality…once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Hendrick's revisits its traditional gin recipe to celebrate the summer solstice. We find the unmistakable Hendrick's signature of cucumber and rose, associated with 4 flowers harvested during the summer solstice. We discover a deeply floral gin with a beautiful lightness.
