Golden Hour (gin drink)
(Drink in picture is the recipe doubled)
I’ve been playing around with the new Another Hendrick’s Gin (the white bottle), and I came up with a cocktail I think is worth sharing. Since the drink has such a beautiful golden color, I decided to call it Golden Hour. 🍑✨
It’s bright, juicy, and incredibly refreshing. Ripe peach is the first thing you notice, followed by fresh lemon that keeps it from being too sweet. Another Hendrick’s brings delicate notes of orange blossom, soft florals, and just a whisper of cacao, giving the cocktail a silky, elegant finish without overpowering the fruit.
Every sip starts with lush peach, brightens with vibrant citrus, and finishes with gentle botanical complexity. It drinks like summer in a glass and would be just as at home on the porch as it would at brunch or a dinner party.

I’d love to hear what you think if you make it. If you try any variations, let me know—I think it would also be fantastic with a splash of sparkling wine or topped with club soda for a lighter version.
