Spotted: The Most Unusual Gin at Wolf and Fox GastroPub

Friday night, time to hit the bar. Great to see an old friend, a most unusual old friend...

For one special evening, Wolf and Fox GastroPub served up some of the coolest cocktails with the most unusual gin. Hendrick's Gin, we meet again...

Hendrick's Gin's Regional Brand Ambassador and Master Mixologist Zachary Connor De Git is back behind the bar whipping up his own brand of cocktail alchemy. Three new and distinct cocktails made special with the most unusual gin, Hendrick's Gin, and a classic favorite. It was that kind of evening at Wolf and Fox GastroPub...

My first round of hand crafted cocktails with Hendrick's Gin is innocently tart with just a hint of naughtiness. Start the evening right with the light and easy Sands Spritz (P 408), a refreshing blend of Hendrick's Gin with grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and Maraschino liqueur, garnished with a rose petal. Hendrick's Gin infuses eleven distinct botanicals in its curious blend, including flower petals from the exotic Bulgarian Rose Damascena flower, so it isn't surprising to find a rose petal as a garnish on this unique cocktail. The tart and citrus notes of the lemon and grapefruit juices play well with the smooth and rounded flavors of Hendrick's Gin (for more on Hendrick's Gin, and its distinct blend of botanicals, check out my previous post here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2014/11/hendricks-gin-evening-with-most-unusual.html). 

Zach then whips up the next round of cocktails. Jasmine (P 358), a tart and smooth blend with Hendrick's Gin, Campari, Cointreau, and lemon juice. The vibrant colors serves as a visual cue, with its bold flavors. Classy, sophisticated, sexy, but be warned, she can bite back. Treat her right, with respect, and she'll take good care of you.  

Next, a round of A Hendrick's Negroni (P 348), a sweet blend of Hendrick's Gin, Campari, and sweet Vermouth, garnished with an orange peel. Lightly sweet with just the right bitter punch, it's a proper cocktail that gets you in the groove in no time. The sweet and lightly bitter notes are perfectly balanced by Hendrick's Gin, it's the type of cocktail where you just loosen your tie and sit back. There is a sense of laid back elegance and an old world charm with this cocktail, forcing you to stay classy while at the bar. And I'm definitely having another one...  

I complete the round of cocktails with an old favorite. The classic GT with a unique cucumber twist, Hendrick's Gin & Tonic (P 198). I blame this drink for making me insist on a cucumber twist each time I go for the classic GT. It's just not the same without the cucumber twist. Or Hendrick's Gin and its medley of exotic botanicals adding to the delicate flavors. Light, refreshing, with just a whisper of sweetness rounded out by the lightly bitter and effervescent tonic water and capped by the smooth shot of Hendrick's Gin. And that fresh cucumber garnish. Nothing quite like it. Great to see an old friend again. A most unusual old friend. 

Three new and exciting cocktails, and a classic favorite, each one made even more special with the most unusual gin. Check out these new cocktails, and experience the unusual, with Hendrick's Gin.
