Hendrick's RoseCocktail recipe
Rating
The Hendrick's Rose cocktail is a delicately fragrant and refreshing drink that combines the floral notes of rose water with the crispness of lemon juice and the botanical complexity of gin. It is typically served in a cocktail glass, making for an elegant presentation.
With soda water adding an effervescent touch, this cocktail is light on the palate, making it an ideal choice for a summery afternoon or as a sophisticated pre-dinner aperitif. The Hendrick's Rose emphasizes the rose and cucumber essence of Hendrick's Gin, which is a key ingredient, and the absence of additional sweeteners lets the subtle flavours shine through for a clean, aromatic sipping experience.
