Tuesday, April 9 marks one of our most enjoyable holidays: National Gin & Tonic Day, and what better way to celebrate than with Hendrick’s Gin.

The G&T is having a moment. Even a recent Bacardi Global Consumer Survey reported that the Gin & Tonic is the top bar call for 2024, beating out the Mojito at #2 and the Margarita at #3.

Whether you’re loyal to the standard serve or feel curiosity calling for a twist on the classic, Hendrick’s has you covered with recipes and bottle offerings that pair exquisitely with tonic. More on our gins, including the latest release from Master Distiller Lesley Gracie’s Cabinet of Curiosities, GRAND CABARET, as well as some recipes are linked below.

Hendrick’s Ambassador Vance Henderson also weighed in: “The G&T is a classic that has withstood the test of time worldwide, because of its simplicity and refreshing taste. When you add Hendrick’s to the mix and crown the drink with cooling cucumber wheels, it elevates the simple sip to new curiously refreshing heights that’s unmatched in flavor and enjoyment with friends!”
