Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice is a limited-release, hyper-floral twist on the classic Hendrick’s house style—bright, aromatic, and irresistibly refreshing. Inspired by the ephemeral blooms of midsummer, it layers delicate florals over Hendrick’s signature cucumber and rose, creating a vivid gin that shines in spritzes, G&Ts, and garden party cocktails. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
