When Hendrick’s released their Midsummer Solstice Gin in a purple bottle, I was so excited. Purple is such a tricky glass colour to find — especially for recycling — and after working with the original Hendrick’s bottle, I was feeling pretty optimistic.
And yes… it was beautiful. Mostly.
The colour held, and I was thrilled to add it to my growing Gin & Tonic collection — but this one came with a bit of a personality. It’s trickier to melt and tends to fizz more than other bottles (not in a good way).
Still, the end result was worth the effort. Mysterious, rich and a little dramatic — just like a midsummer night.
