But when the season is this merry, one should not tarry to partake in the festive frivolities. From 22 November, Bizarre is hosting a Hendrick’s Holiday Cocktail Degustation. Savour delightful cocktails paired with scrumptious bites as we take you through a delightful Christmas story through the flavours weaved together by Charmaine Thio (Hendrick’s Gin SEA Brand Ambassador) and Chef Kel Zaguirre (Bizzare Executive Chef).
Host for the holidays
An exceptional Holiday Party is a jolly and memorable affair.

The first toast of the season calls for thunderous refreshment. It’s high time we cast away those predictable half-flat flutes and make way for the peculiar Hendrick’s French 75. Known simply as the ‘Soixante-Quinze’ in France, this elegant cocktail presents a ravishing rhapsody of bright citrus, fragrant notes of Hendrick’s signature cucumber and rose, topped with crisp bubbly Champagne.
Unmistakably festive in both appearance and taste, Hendrick’s Cranberry Fizz is a curiously refreshing libation guaranteed to spread holiday cheer. Best served in a highball glass and garnished with a slice of cucumber, this delectable cocktail features an exquisite blend of Hendrick’s Gin, cranberry juice and your choice of soda or sparkling wine.
