Hendrick's Gin Brings Back The Cucumber Currency Exchange At Over 124 Bars In KL, Penang & JB
In the peculiar world of Hendrick's Gin, cucumber is not merely a garnish. It is a celebrated symbol of the unusual, a curious twist that transforms the mundane into the marvelously unexpected. 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.

Spirit.Ed: Celebrate National Martini Day 2025 With One Of These Martinis
Today (June 19) is National Martini Day, and we're putting a focus on the classic cocktail along with some riffs. Whether using gin or vodka, a Martini can go in a lot of directions, and we've got some unique twists in our roundup below. If I sound like a broken record in this next sentence, forgive me, because I love a Martini made with gin. Gin, which wasn't my favorite in my early days of imbibing, is probably my favorite spirit and far more versatile than expected. As I've learned over time, the origin of National Martini Day is hard to pinpoint, as is the actual history of the Martini. Some historians point to the Martinez cocktail as the precursor to the Martini, which was introduced to the masses in the 1800s. There are also claims that the drink rose to prominence in 1910 at New York's Knickbocker Hotel. What we can determine from older bartending manuals is that the drink usually involved gin, Italian fortified wine, and bitters. My first Martini was made with Hendrick's Gin, a curious choice for some due to the brand's infusion of cucumber and rose, along with familiar gin botanicals of chamomile, elderflower, juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, caraway, coriander, cubeb berries, angelica root, yarrow root and orris root. Thanks to the expert bartenders of now-closed Washington, D.C. bar, Wisdom, I became adept at understanding different gins and expanding my choices. In this year's National Martini Day roundup, we have some familiar brands I've featured before, like Still G.I.N. and Reyka Vodka, along with brands new to me, Prairie Organic Spirits and Four Pillars. I didn't get a lot of pitches for this day, so this will be a quick read. If there are some brands or recipes we need to know about, email D.L. Chandler at dchandler@ to get those on our radar for future roundups. Have a happy National Martini Day. — Photo: Ali Waxman / Getty Celebrate National Martini Day 2025 With One Of These Martinis was originally published on Source:Still G.I.N.
