My favorite gin.... Ever

Josiah, Mar 30, 2021

super floral! very smooth! One of the best mass-manufactured gin

Mark, Mar 19, 2021

This was probably my favorite of all of the Hendrick's spinoffs, but it still doesn't quite meet the standard set by the original. Too sweet and/or floral? I'm not sure. It's an interesting flavor and will definitely enjoy finishing it, but I'll probably just get the original next time.

Great drinker. Fun, fruity, kind of like that girl in the orchard.

Dayna, Mar 1, 2021

A bit too sweet for me, but I typically just enjoy the taste of juniper in a good, dry gin.

Talon, Feb 26, 2021

Love the floral taste and smell while drinking a gin & tonic. Highly recommend pairing with fevertree elderflower

Alan, Jan 24, 2021

It's hard to go wrong with Hendrick's and Midsummer Solstice proves that whatever accents they choose it will provide a balanced, delightful accent to an underlying gin that's solidly world class. I think the lavender stood out as most noticeable both on the nose and palette. Floral but far from frou-frou, this gin sips neat with light heat without any sense of being weak. I'll definitely keep this stocked in the home bar.

Amazing floral notes. Wouldn't ruin it by mixing it with anything other than (maybe) an ice cube.

Casey, Dec 3, 2020

This is not my usual flavor but I love it

Frank, Nov 19, 2020

I love this Gin. Great herbal overtone without too much juniper. No other Gin like it. Makes a great gin and tonic.

Ashley, Nov 13, 2020

Very floral and herbal.

Matthew, Nov 4, 2020

A lot more floral compared to the regular Hendricks gin. Pretty good still.

Gary, Nov 2, 2020

Very smooth

Mariko, Oct 17, 2020

Made a gin & tonic and enjoyed that slightly floral flavor.

Darcy, Oct 7, 2020

This is one of my favorites. I bought a case-plus last year and was anxiously awaiting the release for this year. I did not like the winter solstice by Hendrick's. I drink this on the rocks...it is a great sipping gin. It is also good with champagne, dash of St. Germaine and a splash of grapefruit. Enjoy!

Brian, Sep 16, 2020

Superb gin. Hendrick's is always great but the extra floral notes really compliment the base juniper. Amazing!

Heath, Aug 26, 2020

Best sipping Gin. Floral notes are amazing. It's what you WANT gin to taste like.

Mary, Aug 21, 2020

This is great! Just got into drinking gin and this is my favorite so far. I enjoyed it.

Ari, Aug 19, 2020

Makes your martinis fun.

Jerry, Aug 17, 2020

Great Gin, if you love Hendricks then get two bottles.

Greg, Aug 11, 2020

Not sure how much tasting had already been done when the Flaviar taster wrote Color: Natural Lilac. The bottle is ... but the spirit is clear as can be. I was thinking it would be along the lines of Empress, which actually is that color. That aside, this may be the best gin I’ve ever tasted. It’s not in your face juniper like most, instead a nice blend of florals along with the juniper that makes this a delight to sip. Those that don’t like gin may actually like this one.

Judy, Aug 7, 2020

fun. not sure if it's the packaging/gimmick that's at play, but very enjoyable

Edward, Aug 7, 2020

Industrial

Tim, Jul 10, 2020

Pairs very well with an orange in the g&t

Nina, Jul 9, 2020

What a wonderful surprise G&T with cucumber and orange zest... delish!

Richard, Jul 3, 2020

An elaborate, floral, beautiful drink. Delicately balanced and full of depth, it's also remarkably easy to sip on. This is a truly wonderful drink.

Robert, Jun 22, 2020

I absolutely love this Gin. The botanical flavors are delicate, lightly sweet, and delightful. I've enjoyed it most over ice, or neat. It absolutely stands on it's own. Added to orange seltzer with a slice of orange is very nice too but I found I longed for the experience of tasting the gin without embellishment. Look at the flavor spiral for this, it's dead-on, and the flavors are brought out so langourously that you can't miss them.

Alan, Jun 19, 2020

Very flavorful; more botanical than "regular" Hendricks. It seems almost a waste to mix it with tonic. A good complement to lemon and champagne in a French 75, but don't waste it in a Negroni. Excellent in The Last Word, along with Luxardo maraschino and green Chartreuse!

guest, May 27, 2020

Second only to the original Hendrick’s.

guest, May 25, 2020

Fantastic floral flavors.

Robert, Apr 30, 2020

Good gin, the flowery taste isn't my thing but goes well in a G&T.

Walter, Apr 27, 2020

Great botanicals, no lime needed!

Katie, Apr 22, 2020

Very floral. Nice for a martini

Brenden, Apr 22, 2020

Purple bottle was a little weird but a fantastic floral and fruit scent and flavor.

Lourdes, Feb 17, 2020

I love this gin! I have always enjoyed gin but this has a lovely floral note that is delicious straight or with tonic. I created a drink using this gin, violet liqueur and a dash of rose water over ice topped with a bit of club sod and garnished with a lemon peel, extraordinary and refreshing!

Britney, Jan 14, 2020

So amazingly delicious! Very smooth, great flavor profile. Fruit forward but crisp and clean. One of my all time favorite gins!

James, Jan 1, 2020

Awesome

Pierre, Nov 27, 2019

I use to hate gin until I tasted this release. It has a strong floral scent and a citrus and floral taste that overpowers the traditional juniper notes. Great with elderflower and in refreshing summer cocktails

Robert, Nov 12, 2019

Very good.. delicious and changing. With my first taste (just straight and room temperature) the gin was very floral.. but after adding ice and having another drink I got notes of strawberry and raspberry.. very different and very smooth.. I finished with ice and soda and it made a very complex delicious cocktail. Love it.

Matthew, Oct 12, 2019

Color is absent, clear. Nose is floral, with a bouquet of unidentified flowers and lavender dominating. Underneath the floral is the classic Hendrick's Rose and cucumber. First sip is pleasant, floral, gentle. No harsh flavor or finish. The lavender does not overpower but shows. The floral is soft and mildly sweet. Quite pleasant on the rocks. Tonic water becomes very important, however, due to the delicate floral notes. Mixing with too powerful a tonic (i.e. Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water) and the bitterness of the quinine overpowers the notes and they are lost. Diet tonic (i.e. Zevia Tonic Water) also interferes with gentle notes. The right tonic though (Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water) enhances the floral notes and makes a refreshingly light and floral drink. Overall, this is a solid Gin, but I prefer classic Hendrick's for its simplicity and Orbium for its uniqueness over this take.

rebecca, Sep 14, 2019

One of my favorite gins. Incredibly pleasing floral notes. I like it over ice or in a gimlet.

Zack, Aug 5, 2019

very floral great for negroni and gin and tonics great notes

Jonathan, Jul 30, 2019

It is a very floral and intricate flavored liquor that I hesitate to call”gin.” It does not play nicely with traditional gin mixers and given it’s complexity is best sipped over ice or in the driest of martinis. I had longed for this elusive bottle since I first heard of it. Now it sits in my cabinet, having been tasted,

Sara, Jul 26, 2019

Beautifully floral, such a unique gin!

Tori, Jul 15, 2019

floral

Anita, Jul 15, 2019

Refreshing changeup for G&T! - Floral essence has a punch if you're not prepared...and I love it.

guest, Jul 13, 2019

Great, but original is better. A little too floral

John, Jul 11, 2019

It was great. I am looking to find and purchase another bottle. If you like botanical gin, I would strongly recommend adding this to your collection.

Cassandra, Jul 11, 2019

It turned out nice in cocktails but notes of Elderflower overpowered when sipped alone

Ian, Jul 7, 2019

Smoother and more floral than the original. I say it’s a must try for gin lovers. Makes a delicious French 75.

Anita, Jun 26, 2019

An amazingly, pleasant floral not that stands up to with any tonic. Refreshing summer change up from cucumber/herbal notes.

George, Jun 15, 2019

I've gotten to the point where, with most gins, I need to add a dash or two of bitters to my gin & tonic to give it a little more depth. This is the first gin that has made me realize that there are no bitters that could possibly improve the experience. I may even start to forego the twist of lime.

ROSEANN, Jun 2, 2019

Pleasantly surprised. This was my first gin purchase

Jimmy, May 29, 2019

A Gin lovers delight! Wonderful fragrance and flavorful for Gin and Tonics and a good old fashioned Tom Collins.

Arthur, May 19, 2019

Extremely good gin. Very smooth with all the flavors you would expect with some floral & lavender essence that is expertly applied to be pleasant and not overwhelming-adds a great little twist to your gin n tonics, martinis, and Tom Collins! Worth every penny

guest, May 9, 2019

Very floral on the nose with a touch of juniper and a healthy serving of berries and lavender. Can be drunk alone with an ice cube. Absolutely brilliant in a gin and tonic with 25% gin and 75% tonic.
