Hendrick's Gin Garden at The Landing debuted on New Year's Eve, when about 180 revellers taste-tested a range of gin cocktails, including a Scottish Sling - cucumber, elderflower, raspberry, lime, and ginger; and the Hendrick's Tea Party, with blackberry, Earl Grey tea, apple, and lime.
While many a tall tale has been spun about the medical wonders of the drop, The Landing has invested its efforts in creating a range of delicious cocktails.
The Landing's Josh O'Brien said many locals were keen to visit and wet their lips.
"It's new, a little different and a bit vintage," he said.
"I think people are keen try something away from the craft beers that have recently popped up."
On the weekends The Landing is also hosting High Tea Sundays.
For $50, patrons are served three specially-crafted Hendrick's Cocktails along with scones with cream and jam, finger sandwiches and sweets.
■ Hendrick's Gin Garden at The Landing, Honeysuckle is open from 6pm Friday and Saturday evenings and from 1pm to 10pm on Sundays throughout summer. For more information or for bookings phone 4927 1722.
