Gin ... what to do with
Discussion
It's been so long
Who IS that woman who always seems to appear at parties and cries about how s
t her life is? Because nobody else at the party ever seems to know her.
As an employee of the company that makes Hendrick's and the son of a London gin distiller I can only commend your good taste.
For cocktail ideas I'd see the below- we have professional mixologists working on cocktail recipes on a fairly regular basis so there should be some good peculiarities in there for you...

George, you work for William Grant then ...
I work in the packaging industry, so chose Hendricks solely on the packaging. We have supplied William Grant with quite a few things over the years, including http://www.goldkenn.com/en/, Old Alliance. Our Chairman was basically William Grant's glass design consultant about 15 years ago, at a charge out fee of about £3k a day.
Goldkenn was not feasible for any other manufacturer in Europe in terms of timescale and technicality, except us

Buy a big jar and find someone with a whole load of Sloes (or Damsons) - prick all the berries with a pin as you put them into the jar, add some sugar and all the gin - then leave for 3-4 months min - ideally longer and hey presto - Sloe Gin! A far more interesting G&T - An SG&T!
if you dont want to have to prick each berry individually you could always freeze them instead...

This is more suited to cheaper gins.Don't forget to eat the fruit, maybe with icecream?

Seriously on the Hendrick's front cucumber in the g&t does make it come to life. Also for a superb tipple use Fever Tree tonic which really does beat Schweppes into a complete cocked hat.
Otherwise try thinking about what you can do with elderflower- St Germain is both interesting from a flavour viewpoint and also a packaging point of view...
PS Let us know what you think of Boe- thats a knew one we haven't seen!
