I think this is a really good, gentle, cucumber based option. It’s not better than Hendricks, but it’s the closest taste you can find. Like a watered down version of Hendricks. Definitely enjoyable and should stay in my collection.

Really light and refreshing. A little sweet. Less cucumber-y than Hendricks but still in that family. Great with soda and lemon. Yum!

GinQueen 4.3

Lots of flavor, flowery. Had with lime and don't recommend. Much better either neat or in martini to enjoy all the flavors.

Emma says she likes it because it “tastes like nothing”..... so it’s basically vodka. Tastes like nothing.
