A 17th-Century Parisian Fruit Cup, Distilled
Gracie's inspiration was the fruit eaux-de-vie served in 17th-century Parisian cabarets — decadent stone-fruit cordials that were the height of fashion. She answered with the first stone-fruit Hendrick's ever: apricot, peach, mirabelle plum, and cherry woven into the gin's signature cucumber-rose architecture, distilled through the same two stills that make every Hendrick's. The result is unmistakably Hendrick's — just dressed for a night out.
Tasting Notes
Stone fruit leads — ripe apricot and peach with a cherry lift — over the familiar cucumber-rose base. Sweet herbs add a savory edge, and the finish is long, floral, and gently spiced.
How to Enjoy
The signature serve is a gin and tonic with a peach slice or a twist of orange — the fruit botanicals do the garnishing work. It also makes a glorious French 75.
