Grab your drinking kakis 'cause Hendrick's Cucumber Currency Exchange is back!

From 16 to 22 May, bring along a cucumber in exchange for a refreshing Hendrick's and Tonic drink at selected bars in KL, Penang, and Johor Bahru.

"No cash, no cards, just cucumbers," are needed to get the drink.

"The mighty cucumber plays such a pivotal role in making Hendrick's Gin and its cocktails distinctly unusual, and this is why we are inviting curious-minded individuals to exchange this unconventional green fruit for the most peculiar libation, a Hendrick's & Tonic," states Hendrick's Gin Southeast Asia brand ambassador, Charmaine Thio.

Over 140 bars nationwide will accept cucumbers as currency.

Throughout the month of May, Hendrick's will also be running a series of thirst-quenching activities, starting with a guest shift at WIP @ Bangsar Shopping Centre on 15 May

Thio will craft four delightful Hendrick's cocktails, and guests who delve into all four cocktails will unlock the chance to select a surprise gift from the peculiar Gift Cabinet.

There will also be a whimsical Guided Bar Tour on 16 May, where Thio will take you on a peculiar escapade across the city's best nightlife scene, and selected guests will be immersed in the essence of Hendrick's, one cucumber at a time.

The Refreshing Encounter continues on 17 May at Fritz @ The Troika, where you'll be able to uncover tiny cucumbers hidden within captivating dioramas, each discovery bringing you closer to a coveted prize – a Hendrick's Miniature bottle! 

Then, bask in the satisfaction of your triumph as you savour all three curiously refreshing variations of Tini Martinis – skilfully crafted and served by none other than Thio.

Last but not least, you can stand to win a Hendrick's Refreshing Retreat in participating bars, from 15 May to 16 June

Five pairs of winners will get to enjoy a 2D1N stay in the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel KL, complete with a rejuvenating spa session and Hendrick's cocktail pairing dinner at Bar Trigona, valued at up to RM7,000.

Visit the website for full details on how to stand a chance for the Hendrick's Refreshing Retreat.
