🍸 Perfect Pour — Ep. 01: Hendrick’s Neptunia 🌊

Welcome to our new Perfect Pour series, where we take some of the gins behind the bar and show you exactly how we think they’re best served 👌

First up, we’re heading to the coast with Hendrick’s Neptunia 🌊🌿

Paired with Franklin & Sons Rosemary & Black Olive Tonic Water, then finished with fresh mint, crisp apple and cracked black peppercorns 🍏🌿

Fresh, herbal, slightly savoury and packed with those unmistakable Hendrick’s flavours.

Would this be your Perfect Pour? 👀🍸

🪑 Ever wondered where all the furniture goes at the end of the night?

Turns out working at Tin of Sardines doesn't just require an enthusiasm for gin and a bit (or a lot) of quirkiness 🤪. It also requires a fairly advanced knowledge of Tetris... 🧩😂

Everything has its place. Somehow.
