Hendrick’s Absinthe 48% is an unusual reinterpretation of the traditional absinthe style and clearly bears the creative signature of Hendrick’s Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie. At its heart lies classic wormwood, combined with rose petal essence and Hendrick’s signature cucumber. The recipe is complemented by five further botanicals, including star anise, bringing together traditional absinthe ingredients with Elements closely associated with Hendrick’s identity. Unlike many historically inspired absinthe bottlings, Hendrick’s opts for a clear, modern interpretation and deliberately positions Hendrick’s Absinthe as a versatile spirit for sophisticated drinks and creative bar concepts.

With a robust 48% ABV, Hendrick’s Absinthe – featuring wormwood, cucumber and rose – has sufficient body to remain distinctly present even in more complex cocktails. The combination of traditional absinthe botanicals with cucumber and floral elements makes it particularly interesting for modern mixology and clearly sets it apart from classic aniseed-dominated bottlings. The 0.7-litre bottle is therefore particularly well-suited to home bars where experimentation is encouraged and to professional cocktail settings where a characterful absinthe is required. Here, Hendrick’s applies its well-known penchant for unusual combinations of botanicals to a historic category of spirits, thereby creating a unique blend of tradition, contemporary interpretation and the brand’s signature creativity.
