When it comes to surviving Singapore\u2019s relentless humidity, we\u2019ve tried just about everything \u2013 from lugging portable fans in our bags to keeping a stash of cooling wipes in the office drawer. But if you\u2019re looking for an unusually refreshing way to beat the heat this June, let us introduce you to the only currency that matters: cucumbers. Yes, really.<\/p>\n

As a team that\u2019s always sniffing out the city\u2019s quirkiest happenings (and best happy hour deals), we\u2019re thrilled to report that the Great Cucumber Exchange by Hendrick\u2019s Gin is back from 16 to 19 June 2025, in celebration of World Cucumber Day. Following last year\u2019s wildly popular run, this free-spirited campaign invites anyone with a cucumber to waltz into participating bars and trade it in for a free Hendrick\u2019s Gin cocktail. That\u2019s right, no strings attached.<\/p>\n

Stay as cool as a cucumber<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the lowdown: bring a cucumber to one of the 95 selected bars across Singapore during the exchange period, and you\u2019ll be handed a complimentary Hendrick\u2019s & Tonic on the house. No cash, no cards, just cucumbers. It\u2019s all in celebration of World Cucumber Day, a rather curious holiday that Hendrick\u2019s Gin has long championed, to honour this crisp green fruit that gives this iconic spirit its signature edge.<\/p>\n

Wondering what makes the cucumber so important? Hendrick\u2019s Gin is no ordinary pour. Its peculiar charm lies in its infusion of rose and cucumber post-distillation, which results in a refreshing botanical blend that\u2019s light, complex, and unmistakably smooth. So, it only makes sense that the humble cucumber is the star of this celebration.<\/p>\n

Take your pick from two delightful cocktails<\/h2>\n

Expect two cocktails to choose from this year, featuring the latest limited-edition gin releases from Hendrick\u2019s Cabinet of Curiosities. You can sip on Hendrick\u2019s Flora Adora, a floral-forward libation inspired by pollinator-friendly blooms, perfect for those who prefer their drinks fresh and breezy.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, go bold with Hendrick\u2019s Grand Cabaret, a limited-edition beauty laced with juicy stone fruits and decadent notes that\u2019ll make you feel like you\u2019ve just stepped into a velvet-draped jazz lounge. Paired with fizzy and slightly sweet tonic water, the combination with either Hendrick\u2019s option makes a perfect libation for your post-work hangs.<\/p>\n

Forgot your cucumber? Turn to the Hendrick\u2019s Cucumber Town Council<\/h2>\n

Can\u2019t find a cucumber on short notice? Don\u2019t sweat it. During lunchtime, the Hendrick\u2019s Cucumber Town Council will be out and about in Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar, handing out free cucumbers to curious (and thirsty) citizens.<\/p>\n
