Hendrick’s Gin has just launched Hendrick’s Cucumber Milk, a first-of-its-kind, delectable milk created to be the next best alternative. Inspired by the key ingredient in the most unusual gin, the cucumber,  this is the latest alternative milk innovation to hit the market from the Scottish based distiller. More odd than oat, more unusual than almond, Hendrick’s Cucumber Milk is gin free, dairy free and fruit-based, making it a refreshing additive to a variety of beverages and foods.

From breakfast to dessert, and yes, even cocktails, this milk invention promises to level up your favorite drink or dish with some light taste of our favorite cylindrical fruit.

To celebrate the launch, Hendrick’s Gin has curiously curated a line of recipes and cocktails featuring the cucumber milk to enjoy at home:

• Iced Hendrick’s Cucumber Milk & Matcha Latte
• Hendrick’s Cucumber Milk Punch
• Hendrick’s Cucumber-Mango Overnight Oats
