Buying Drinks With Cucumbers In Jozi

Joburg Admin / May 18, 2018

Shaun Stemmett, Brand Manager for Hendrick’s Gin South Africa, explains that “what truly sets Hendrick’s apart is our inspired array of decidedly unusual botanical infusions and instillations – most notably and marvellously, the cucumber.” There is simply no other way to cap off a Hendrick’s cocktail than with a piece of little green garnish cut from the same fruit that gives Hendrick’s its delightfully unusual flavour. As if flavour enhancement alone was not a good enough reason for topping your tipple with a cucumber, this selection also provides ample opportunity for expressive experimentation in shape and size that is sure to please the eye as well as the palate. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd94flyHtZg/?taken-by=hendricksginsa As World Cucumber Day approaches, it would not be a celebration is Hendrick’s Gin did not do something compelling. This year, in celebration of this glorious green garnish, Hendrick’s Gin presents the Cucumber Currency Exchange. For a period during the months of May and June, Hendrick’s Gin will recognise the true value of the cucumber by transforming the humble green fruit into exchangeable monetary units in celebration of World Cucumber Day on June 14. Hendrick’s has partnered with 20 bars across the major provinces in South Africa, namely; Gauteng, the Western Cape, and Kwa-Zulu Natal. The outlets facilitating this unorthodox transaction are as follows: Life Grand Waterfall Life Grand Mall of Africa Life Grand Mall of the South Life Grand Hazelwood Jamie's Italian 011 Baron Tonic Social on Main Carbon Bistro Le Bouqeria The bars will accept bona fide cucumbers of any species as currency in exchange for a refreshing Hendrick’s & Tonic. The exchange will be limited to the first 30 patrons from 18:00 onwards every day from Tuesday, May 15 to Thursday, June 14. For more information on participating venues, follow Hendrick’s Gin South Africa’s social media channels. https://www.instagram.com/p/BitjjDvAmyG/?taken-by=hendricksginsa
