Quinine cordial released for trade market
Hendrick's Gin has releases a new quinine cordial for bartenders. Combining lavender and orange distillates with extracts of orange blossom, wormwood and holy thistle, Quinetum's core ingredient of cinchona succirubra bark is balanced for a more rounded and workable liquid. The recipe created by Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, is inspired by the work of Thomas Whiffen, a pioneering mathematician and chemist who did much to develop the use of quinine in the 19th century. Quinetum has a base of glycerol and a small amount of sugar syrup and citric acid. The product is 4% ABV. 28 Nov 2014
