![]() Overall, Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin Try a Tom Collins, Gimlet or a delicious Gin Bramble. I think this has great mixing potential with citrus, as well as other floral, fruity gin drinks. I know that floral/fruit-forward gins have a lot of fans, but the overt pink hue might make drinkers self-conscious. Any drink that people have been enjoying with a pink fruity gin can easily swap in Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin and you’ll have a lovely floral gin and tonic or martini without the garish pink color. Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin is the upscale answer to the Pink Gin fad. ![]() The finish has gentle spice, mild pine and leaves the palate almost as fresh as if you just had one of those violet mint candy breath fresheners. They take on the flavor of prickly pear fruit and dragonfruit. The fruit notes become less berry like and drier. Mid-palate, a spicy hint of sandalwood with juniper, pine facets showing hits the palate. Candied citrus rinds- especially sweet orange emerges as well. Lavender, strawberry and rose hips are early on the palate. On the palate, Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin is still generally floral/fruit forward, but the pine and juniper character- though mild- is here. It seems as a single whole rather than its component parts. This is similar to how an accord in perfume works. It doesn’t suggest specific flowers as much as the ephemeral impression of flowers. Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin begins with an aroma of raspberries, roses, natural strawberries and an indistinct “floral” aroma. Fans of bold floral gins like Brockman’s may catch some similarities here. It’s sweet and slightly fruit-forward on the nose. So Hendrick’s fans- get on it! Tasting Notes Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin is a limited edition product, so assume that after summer 2019 it will become scarce. After distillation it is “infused with natural flavors and floral essences.” This is inclusive of the same natural flavors that are used in popular seltzer drinks like LaCroix, but also inclusive of anything added via post-distillation maceration. ![]() Similar to Hendrick’s original, Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin has some post-distillation modifications. The product is the design of Lesley Gracie, the woman behind Hendrick’s flagship gin. First it was Orbium, now it’s Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice Gin.
