At Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week 2025’s closing party, Hendrick’s Gin hosted an evening that brought together fashion, cocktails, and performance. The event featured Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret, a special edition gin inspired by festive gatherings in early 20th-century Paris. This edition is a limited release from Hendrick’s Cabinet of Curiosities, created for dreamers, artists, and free-spirited souls.
Three well-known Indonesian designers—Rama Dauhan, Faisal Shah of DIBBA, and Dana Maulana of Danjyo Hiyoji—joined the celebration in an unexpected way. Instead of showcasing garments, they stepped behind the bar to create cocktails using Hendrick’s Gin and its Grand Cabaret release. Each drink reflected the designer’s personal style while drawing from the lively and layered spirit of cabaret culture.
Rama Dauhan presented the Kemangi Sour, a drink that blends Hendrick’s Gin Original, citrus and herbal notes with a touch of tamarind. Served over ice, it’s refreshing and layered, with the option to lengthen the drink with soda water.
Faisal Shah of DIBBA created the Hendrick’s Scarlet Siren, a vibrant mix of Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret, cranberry juice, raspberry syrup, and lime. The result is a drink that’s fruity and tart, with a hint of sweetness and a light floral touch.
Dana Maulana of Danjyo Hiyoji offered the Rosemary Cabaret Collins, a smooth and aromatic cocktail made with Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret, lemon juice, and honey syrup. Topped with soda water and finished with a rosemary sprig, the drink is crisp and gently sweet, with herbal warmth from the rosemary and a soft citrus lift.
The gin itself was developed by Hendrick’s Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, who explored historical recipes for stone fruit spirits. Drawing from peach schnapps and cherry liqueurs, she created a blend that uses stone fruits as its base for the first time in a Hendrick’s release. Sweet herbs were added to balance the fruit, resulting in a mix that’s both full and light. The bottle design features a deep purple tone and a mix of playful symbols, including a chandelier—an element that hints at the gatherings that inspired the drink.
