Gin & Tonic, Gin Cosmo Rickey recipes in honor of tomorrow’s National Gin & Tonic Day

Tomorrow is national Gin & Tonic Day but Mattias Horseman, brand ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin is celebrating a day early with a quite unusual cocktail demonstration featuring rose and cucumbers accents and a little magic. Mattias encourages everyone to stay safe at home by using a liquor delivery service, such as Drizly, to order ingredients.

  • 1 part Hendrick’s Gin
