Melbourne’s Ripponlea House hosted a celebration of all things curious and unusual for Hendrick’s Gin’s Journey into the Botanical Unknown.

Guests trekked down the garden path to the picturesque location where they were greeted by specialty punch concoctions like Garden in Flower Gin Punch, Hendrick’s Jubilee Punch, Hendrick’s & Tonics, Hendrick’s Martinis and the Hendrick’s Victorian Mojito. 

‘Bubble ‘n’ Squeak’ Fritters, Popcorn Shrimp with Grilled Lime and Chipotle or Peppered Gippsland Beef and Red Wine Pies with Tomato Relish were served as canapés and Hendrick’s eccentric Global Ambassador, David Piper addressed the crowd of Melbournites. The Yakusan team performed a set based on the eleven botanical ingredients in Hendrick’s.
