‘Stem for a Spritz’ with Hendrick’s Gin Midsummer Solstice

Hendrick’s Gin has launched Hendrick’s Gin Midsummer Solstice, a new limited-edition gin which you can enjoy in a free spritz this weekend.

Hendrick's Gin Midsummer Solstice

Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice is a refreshing twist and floral ‘bouquet that is perfect for light drinking as Australia prepares for the warmer months and longer evenings ahead.

To celebrate the launch of Hendrick’s Gin Midsummer Solstice, throughout October, Hendrick’s has transformed Sydney pub Paddo Inn in Paddington with a one-of-its-kind takeover encouraging Sydneysiders to embrace their curious side. The takeover will see Paddo Inn renamed for the first time to Paddo (G)inn with the venue artfully transformed by local flower artist, Dr Lisa Cooper, as a tribute to the sensory powers of the Midsummer Solstice and secret selection of exquisite floral essences.
