Charlotte Voisey, Global Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s

I had the pleasure of attending a fun Spirited Lunch event hosted by Society on Tuesday, November 10th, and met special guest Charlotte Voisey, Global Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin. Charlotte is an internationally awarded mixologist who lives in New York and travels the world creating Gin based cocktails.

Originating from Ayrshire, Scotland, Hendrick’s Gin is a delicious blend of ingredients, distilled to perfection in one of the world’s four last remaining Carter-Head Stills. Complimented by essence of Bulgarian Rose and cucumber, Hendrick’s Gin is meticulously prepared in small batches to ensure supreme quality. Recognized earlier this year by the James Beard Foundation, Charlotte is a much-admired persona behind modern mixology. Boasting a silver medal from the World Female Bartender Championships, Charlotte’s unique cocktails can be found on menus around the world, including The Dorchester in London and Gramercy Park Hotel in New York.
