MOONBATHING

Romanticised for eons, the moon has always evoked a sense of mystery and magic. And now it has inspired a special edition of our favourite gin ‒ Hendrick’s Lunar Gin. A small-batch, limited release gin conjured from the oddities in the Cabinet of Curiosities at Hendrick’s, it is possibly the most peculiar gin ever made: the celestial light of the moon yields an alluring complexity, bestowing an intriguing combination of the refreshing, the warm and the floral.

“In the still of the night, there is a peculiar sensory attachment to aromas. The body doesn’t react to scents in the same way as during daylight. The darkness changes things, including how we respond to those around you. Everything feels different at night, and I wanted to bottle that sensation for sharing moments and stories under the stars,” said master distiller Lesley Gracie.

Designed to be savoured with curious companions as the moon rises in the sky, Hendrick’s Lunar Gin facilitates a special alchemy in sundowners and nightcaps. In celebration of its unique appeal, Hendrick’s Gin has partnered select bars to bring a series of experiences to fans.

First up, Smoke & Mirrors has introduced a menu it calls Cocktails & Moonbathing, and invites you to indulge in evenings of conversations and other contemplative pleasures as you discover the delectable Hendrick’s Lunar Gin cocktails alongside scrumptious fare.
