Hendrick's Gin Brings Back The Cucumber Currency Exchange At Over 124 Bars In KL, Penang & JB
From 27th June to 3rd July 2025, Hendrick's Gin invites curious individuals across Malaysia to embrace their inner oddity as it brings back the Cucumber Currency Exchange – a refreshingly unconventional celebration that begins, quite literally, with a cucumber.
Bring A Cucumber. Receive A Hendrick's Gin & Tonic
The currency? A humble cucumber. The reward? A refreshing Hendrick's Gin & Tonic. With over 124 participating bars in Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru, guests are invited to exchange their cucumber for a perfectly crafted Hendrick's Gin & Tonic. Simply present a cucumber of all shapes, lengths, and types at any participating bar to receive a complimentary Hendrick's Gin & Tonic in return!
And if you're caught cucumber-less? Fret not. Keep an eye out for the Hendrick's roving team as they pop up across Klang Valley, handing out curious cucumbers to the unprepared. Once equipped, simply head to any participating bar and trade it in for a crisp, refreshing Hendrick's & Tonic.
Selected outlets will be transformed with full venue takeovers, offering immersive Hendrick's experiences with exclusive giveaways. Guests who purchase a bottle of Hendrick's at Chateau DeCanter (Damansara Utama), Healy Mac (Jalan P. Ramlee), Kuna (TREC), Over & Above KL, or Gloglo by Over & Above Penang will stand a chance to win the Hendrick's Hotel Pack through a special lucky draw.
'Hendrick's Gin is infused with the curious, yet marvellous, essences of rose and cucumber. The cucumber has long been at the heart of Hendrick's Gin, which is why we're inviting curious individuals to take part in this annual ritual. With one humble fruit, you can exchange for a Hendrick's Gin & Tonic that is as crisp, refreshing, and delightfully smooth as the gin itself,' said Hendrick's Gin Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador, Charmaine Thio.
Hendrick's Gin is a brand that brings a refreshing twist to tradition, turning even the simple act of ordering a Gin & Tonic into a moment of delight and discovery. At the heart of this philosophy lies the cucumber, a fruit Hendrick's Gin has always held in the highest regard.
Through a refined distillation process, Hendrick's is curiously infused with rose and cucumber, resulting in a gin that is both exquisitely smooth and intriguingly complex. And of course, no Hendrick's cocktail is truly complete without a final flourish: a slice of cucumber, cut from the very fruit that gives Hendrick's its pleasingly unusual character.
So gather your cucumbers, rally your curious companions, and prepare to step into a world where the peculiar is prized and the refreshing awaits. With just one simple exchange, you'll unlock a moment of oddity, and a Hendrick's Gin & Tonic quite unlike any other.

Lad & Dad began in Singapore in 2015, when founder Keith Koh returned from England after studying and working there, with the mission of starting a solid, dependable and affordable fish and chip option in his homeland. The Dad was initially very sceptical about the idea, but the Lad gradually won him over, so much so that the dad eventually got behind the business. Together, they researched and developed their signature dishes, evolving from humble beginnings at a hawker centre to now operating three restaurants. Lad & Dad has earned the title of 'Singapore's Best Fish & Chips', as recognised by Michelin chefs and local media, serving customers from all walks of life. Following numerous fan requests, they returned in December 2024 for a pop-up collaboration with Basic Wine Store. This year, answering to customers' demands once more, Lad & Dad is back—this time for good. The 40-seater space on the ground floor of Kuala Lumpur's Wisma Cosway is bright and cheery, a brilliant addition to the buzz and community of the OG building in the heart of the city. Prices for a fish and chip set with a fillet averaging 150g start at RM29.90. Koh also hopes to offer monthly dinner specials in the near future.
