Hendrick’s Gin: Deliciously Divine Tasting!
Hello everybody! Top of the day to you! If you are looking for a gin that is smooth, has hints of rose water, and cucumber, check out Hendrick’s Gin. On a lovely Tuesday afternoon a few weeks ago, we got to try the classic gin plus two new ones at Urban Saloon! Thank you so much to Nina Castillo, Andrew Hueston, USBG, and the lovely Meredith Maciolek for an informative and fun tasting.
Prior to the gin fizz portion of our tasting, we were able to sample some cocktails, and have lunch. Thank you to all the staff at Urban Saloon for a lovely selection of sandwiches, salad, skewers, and cookies to all of us! I particularly enjoyed the pulled pork, and burger sandwiches, along with the homemade tzatziki topped skewers. The first cocktail that I sampled was Take Me Bohm Tonight, with strawberry infused Reyka vodka, rose water, and house-made lemonade. Eric ordered the Paloma with Milagro Silver tequila, Jarrett’s grapefruit soda, lime, and spicy Tajin rim. Both cocktails were very nicely done.
For the tasting, we got to try the Original Hendrick’s gin that everyone is very familiar with, along with two very different gin’s, the limited release Orbium, which I absolutely loved, and want half a case of it in my private bar. And the Grand Cabaret, a deliciously divine gin that has an interesting flavor profile that only the most sensitive palates I’m sure can appreciate.
For fun, Meredith had all of us that attended the tasting do a Gin Fizz contest! The objective, to see who had the highest fizz in the glass. Let me tell you, I enjoyed watching everyone participate, and never want to shake a cocktail shaker ever again! Major workout for the arms. Fortunately, Nina’s husband actually won the contest, and received a bottle of classic Hendrick’s gin, fan, bag, and a few other goodies. I will say that the amount of swag that we all got to pick from was very extensive! For more information on Hendrick’s Gin, head over to their website, or contact Meredith Maciolek, and mention that Tiffany and Eric sent you!
Cheers, and Happy Drinking!
