๐Ÿ”ฎ Welcome to the Twilight Zone ๐Ÿ”ฎ โœจHENDRICKS ORBIUM โœจ โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข With the base of original Hendrickโ€™s, Orbium takes the drink we all know and love to the next level.. Orbium is a mystical infusion of flavours! Taking tastes that we would normally associate with other classic gin libations... Orbium uses quinine which is found in our all too familiar G&T and Wormwood which is found in vermouth used for our martini cocktails ๐Ÿธ Then the final touch of Blue Lotus Blossom balances the flavour... leaving a complex Gin, starting floral & transforming into an enticing bitter sensation!! ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ‘Œ I decided to match this with one of Schweppeโ€™s new tonics, salted lemon ๐Ÿ‹ which they recommend to have with an earthy gin.. I think the salty zest from the tonic matches perfectly with the earthy flavour that stems from the wormwood and brings out the citrus of the gin, I balanced it off with the refreshing cucumber (wouldnโ€™t be a Hendrickโ€™s without its signature garnish) ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜ and topped off with a rose ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒน For the garnish art I took inspiration from an instagrammer I am obsessed with @onedrinkaday ... his garnish ideas are amazing and his cocktails ๐Ÿน ๐Ÿคค definitely go and have a nosey at his page you could be on it for hours!!!!! This gin will not be everyoneโ€™s cup of tea and Hendrickโ€™s have even declared that themselves!! But this is definitely one for me โค๏ธ itโ€™s a complex piece of art ๐Ÿคฉโค๏ธ โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข #gin #hendricksgin #orbium #ginlovers #ilovegin #ginlover #gintonic #ginandtonic #ginandtonics #roses๐ŸŒน #schweppes #schweppespremiummixer #scotland #scottish #premiumtonic #hendricks #floral #niblogger #irishblogger #ukblogger #blogger #magical #mystical #gintonicmagazine #ginmagazine #bestofscotland #instagood @hendricksgin #ginblogger #collectors #scottishgin
