Meet the Floral Berry Hendrick’s Cooler, your new go-to summer sipper for gin lovers!
This cocktail is all about bringing out the best in Hendrick’s Gin (my preferred gin) with a mix of fresh berries, elderflower liqueur, and a splash of sparkling water. Imagine the taste of muddled blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries blended with fresh mint and a zesty kick of lemon juice. It’s sweet, tangy, and totally refreshing. And, an added bonus…it looks amazing with a garnish of a lemon wheel and skewered berries. Whether you’re chilling on the patio or hosting a summer bash, this drink is sure to impress and refresh!

Ingredients
- 2 oz. Hendricks Gin
- 1 oz. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
- 1 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
- .5 oz. simple syrup
- 4–5 blackberries
- 4–5 blueberries
- 4–5 raspberries
- 2–3 strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4–5 mint leaves
- sparkling water
Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and mint leaves to release their juices and flavors.
Add the gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until the mixture is chilled.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Be sure to use a fine mesh strainer to remove any berry seeds or mint bits if desired.
Top off the cocktail with sparkling water.
Notes
*If you like tonic you can use tonic instead of sparkling water, or try Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic.
