Hendrick’s Gin has more of an herbal flavor and less on the juniper. There is a hint of cucumber. It’s one of those subtle nuances that I would never have picked up on if not told it was there. But this “hint of cucumber” has brought forth a plethora of “Cucumber and Hendrick’s” drinks. They all taste a lot like cucumber to me, which is fine in a salad, but one that I find less than appealing in a cocktail. I came up with this drink that combines the herbal flavors of Hendrick’s, St. Germaine and Chartreuse with cardamom and cucumber. The cucumber is muddled just enough by the ice cubes.
