Hendrick’s Cocktails of Luuurve

We’re not big fans of the obvious – ie roses and chocolates for Valentine’s Day. As on any other day of the year, we want GIN! So how delightful to receive some helpful tips from our good friends over at Hendrick’s Gin about celebrating the season of love in style.

While Hendrick’s Gin isn’t for everyone, it is the perfect peculiar addition to any Valentine’s soirée. Made with cloudy apple juice and sweet fresh raspberries and served with a slice of cucumber, the Chelsea Rose provides the ultimate sweet refreshment. Or for those in the mood for something more tantalizing, tempt your loved one with the floral flavours of the Raspberry Royale, layered with champagne and a ravishing raspberry.
