In celebration of World Cucumber Day, Hendrick’s Gin is bringing back its whimsical Cucumber Currency Exchange.
From June 10th to 13th, over 100 bars across Singapore, including Molly Malone, BQ Bar, Chupitos and GoodFellas, will participate in this quirky event where you can trade a cucumber for a delectable cocktail.
During ‘Cucumber Hours’ from 5:30 PM to midnight, simply present a cucumber at any of the participating bars to enjoy a refreshing Hendrick’s & Tonic. You can choose from the original Hendrick’s Gin, the limited-release Hendrick’s Flora Adora, or Hendrick’s Neptunia as the base of your drink.
This unique exchange is a nod to the cucumber’s integral role in making Hendrick’s Gin so distinctively refreshing.
For those without a cucumber, fear not. Hendrick’s team of impeccably dressed cucumber connoisseurs will be roaming Singapore’s iconic bar districts such as Raffles Green, Downtown Marina, and Tanjong Pagar from 11 AM to 1 PM, distributing cucumbers to eager participants.
Charmaine Thio, Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin, expressed her excitement: “For Hendrick’s Gin, the humble cucumber has always been the quintessential muse for our whimsical, refreshing libations.”
“In its honour, we’re bringing the Cucumber Currency Exchange back to Singapore after four years to serve as a delightful escape from the ordinary humdrum of our daily lives. I can’t wait to see Singaporeans embrace the oddity of life with unbridled curiosity, and surrender to joy beyond measure upon this refreshing encounter.”
Hendrick’s Gin is uniquely crafted with infusions of cucumber and rose petals, alongside a blend of 11 botanicals, making it a perfect refresher for Singapore’s tropical heat. This event offers a perfect opportunity to experience the gin’s unique taste in a playful and engaging setting.
For the more adventurous, Hendrick’s Flora Adora, the newest limited-edition release from Hendrick’s Cabinet of Curiosities, offers an enticing floral aroma, elevating the brand’s signature house style into a fresh dimension.
Alternatively, you can try Hendrick’s Neptunia, a 2022 limited release inspired by the magic of the sea, which combines the traditional notes of roses and cucumber with the added depth of Scottish coastal botanicals.
In the spirit of inclusivity, all species of cucumbers will be accepted for the exchange. So, get ready to embrace your peculiar side, grab a cucumber, and head to the nearest participating bar for a refreshingly unique gin experience with Hendrick’s.
