Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret
Hendrick’s enthusiasts will be well aware of the distillery’s beloved Cabinet of Curiosities series, which has seen the production of delightful concoctions including the Lunar and Neptunia gins. Our prayers have been answered, and Hendrick’s Gin has launched a spanking new, limited-edition release as part of the Curiosities collection which is available at Tesco, Morrisons, Ocado and Amazon from March 1.
Inspired by the bustling, surrealist world of Paris in the 1920s, the Grand Cabaret Gin was crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie and boasts a rich ensemble of fruity and aromatic flavours. Designed to appeal to those looking for an indulgent yet refreshing spirit, Gracie drew on a popular 1900s Parisian cocktail known as the ‘eau de vie’, made with a brandy spirit distilled from black cherries, served with a dash of gin and scented with rose.

Heinz & The Godfather Pasta Sauce
“An offer you can’t refuse,” indeed. Heinz is no stranger to unforeseen collaborations, and this newest limited-edition pasta sauce wasn’t on our 2024 bingo cards – but we’re certainly not complaining. The Godfather superfans will be acutely aware of the scene in which sees Peter “leave the gun, take the cannoli” Clemenza as he teaches Michael Corleone how to cook the perfect pasta sauce. That’s right, this special sauce contains the exact same ingredients used by Clemenza.
Crafted using sun-ripened tomatoes grown by Heinz in Italy, olive oil, garlic, meatballs, sausage, salt and pepper, red wine and sugar– this healthy Italian sauce will make you feel as though you’ve just stepped out of the 1972 blockbuster.
