Hendrick’s celebrated World Cucumber Day with Cucumber Currency
The cucumber swap for a Hendrick’s & Tonic gimmick was a success
In celebration of World Cucumber Day last June 14, Hendrick’s revolutionized the way we view currency starting with (you guessed it!) a cucumber.
Renowned for its extraordinary infusion of rose and cucumber, Hendrick's Gin honored the cucumber's true value by transforming it into an exchangeable monetary unit. So as many curious-minded individuals embraced the opportunity to experience Hendrick's Gin through this unconventional exchange, Cucumber Hour redefined what it meant to “buy” a drink—exchanging bona fide cucumbers of any kind as a form of currency or “bar tender,” for a refreshing Hendrick's & Tonic.
It’s through innovative and quirky gimmicks like this that continue to make Happy Hour a fun and enjoyable moment for every drink-fanatic out there! We wonder what other wacky and exciting gimmicks Hendrick’s has up their sleeves?
