In this post: I’m sharing the recipe for my Ultimate Hendrick’s Elderflower Gin and Tonic!
Have you ever been to the Rocky Mountains? The air is so crisp and refreshing that it calls for the perfect drink. So when my husband asked what I’d like for our picnic while on a recent trip to Canmore, it was the ideal opportunity to test out Fever-Tree’s fragrant Elderflower Tonic Water.
I added sliced cucumber, fresh ginger and mint and it was SO good – the perfect mocktail.
Later that evening, I repeated the same ingredients with the addition of Hendrick’s Gin, and it was hands-down the best gin and tonic I’ve ever had.
First of all – I’m a HUGE fan of Hendrick’s Gin. Infused with 11 botanicals, with notes of cucumber and rose, it shines when paired with nothing more than plain tonic water. Plus, I can’t help but love that it’s distilled in Girvan, Scotland – a burgh in Ayrshire a short drive from where my Mum and Dad grew up. I’ve visited Girvan many times (they have a great beach)… so when I finally get Aaron over to Scotland, I know where I’ll be taking him for a visit!
Let’s take a peek at the recipe:
The Ultimate Hendrick’s Elderflower Gin and Tonic
Yields 1 cocktail
You’ll Need:
- 2 ounces Hendrick’s Gin
- 3 thinly sliced rounds of cucumber
- 2 peeled and sliced pieces of fresh ginger
- Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water, to top
- 2 mint sprigs, to garnish
- Cubed Ice
Directions:
Combine Hendrick’s Gin, cucumber and fresh ginger in a Copa de Balon or large Burgundy red wine glass filled with cubed ice. Top of with tonic water and lightly stir. Garnish with mint sprigs, serve and enjoy!
This is honestly such an easy drink to make and SO full of flavour.
Thank you to Hendrick’s Gin for providing the alcohol for this recipe. As always, all thoughts are my own.
