It’s arguable that Hendrick’s Gin was the first one to really get us thinking about using different garnishes in a G&T, and the gin has go on to become synonymous with the cucumber.
The brand is taking that identity to another level this month with the launch of a free door-to-door cucumber concierge service in partnership with some amazing venues across Sydney and Melbourne.
So bars need not worry about running out of this most important garnish and Hendrick’s ambassadors will be visiting local bars armed with a crate of cucumbers and sharing pointers on the art of making superb G&Ts.
Brand Ambassador Luke Sanderson said: “Launching for the first time the cucumber concierge is another way that Hendrick’s Gin is continuing to support the Australian hospitality industry. We will be delivering the essential cucumber garnish to bars around Sydney and Melbourne as well as educating bartenders on the perfect serve. At Hendrick’s Gin, we like to share in the unusual, so we thought we’d take to the streets and get our bartenders to join the peculiar. We’ve got the delectable serve and a service to remember – after all, it’s not every day you get a cucumber delivery on your doorstep.”
