Administrivia: ATTENTION UK PEOPLE.

I need to see if you can find something for me:

I have a STRONG hankering for Hendrick's Gin (mmm. Cucumber booze) but I can't find it ANYWHERE here. I know it's bottled in the UK. Edit: Or apparently it isn't bottled in the UK? I'd swear it was...ah, well.

How nasty would the customs be to have one of you find a smallish bottle and send me some?

In other news: 2 projects done before year end, 2 to go.

I'm not a UK person, but you can order it online in the US from Table & Vine. Search for "Hendricks" (without the apostrophe). They do ship to Ohio.

Crystal clear; intensely aromatic with cool pine/floral, juniper, citrus and hints of cucumber; dry and floral on the palate; clean finish.

Cocktails; straight up; in seafood recipes; try it in a Martini dressed with a slice of cucumber instead of an olive.


Searched at LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) using 'Hendrick's Gin'.


Is it even possible to ship alcohol in the mail? I thought it was illegal in both the States and Canada.

That's the stuff.

Made in Jersey? Huh.

No idea if it's legal, but what the hell.

Actually, it's made in Scotland:
