Why this Summer Is All About “The Unexpected” – Foodgressing

Every summer develops a personality.

One year it’s nostalgia. Another year it’s maximalism. Sometimes it’s wellness.

This year feels different.

Across fashion, travel, dining and culture, people are gravitating toward experiences that feel unexpected rather than predictable. They’re choosing destinations that surprise them, restaurants that challenge assumptions and products that offer something genuinely new.

The arrival of Another Hendrick’s taps directly into that mindset.

Created by Hendrick’s Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, the new expression combines orange blossom and cacao with the brand’s signature rose and cucumber profile, resulting in a gin that feels both familiar and entirely new. It also marks the first new permanent addition to the Hendrick’s portfolio in nearly a decade.

In many ways, it reflects how Canadians want to live right now.

Not abandoning the classics.

Just discovering another side of them.

Whether enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic garnished with cucumber and orange, or transformed into Another Hendrick’s Spritz, the appeal comes from experiencing a fresh take on something already beloved. 

And that might be the defining flavour of summer itself.

For those ready to taste that difference, Another Hendrick’s Spritz offers the perfect summer introduction. Light, refreshing and layered with the unexpected combination of orange blossom, cacao, fruit and bubbles, it captures the spirit of the season in a glass.
