Whether it’s a classic slice, peculiar spears, a bold wedge or an unusual tongue, the cucumber gives ample opportunity for expressive experimentation in shape and size that is sure to please the eye as well as the palate. Grab a basket of cucumbers and a bottle of Hendrick’s Gin at Boozy.com to explore the wondrous possibilities of the most peculiar libation, a Hendrick’s & Tonic.
Charmaine Thio, Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin, comments, “Hendrick’s Gin’s infusions of rose and cucumber create a concoction that is peculiar yet extraordinarily inviting. We garnish a Hendrick’s G&T with a slice of cucumber as a nod to the infusion of Cucumber in our gin, and also because it adds something magical to the humble mixture of gin and tonic that nothing else can. The garnish climbs on top of the cocktail and gives it extra layers and depth, not just of flavour, scent and sight, but of texture. It is almost as if it brings the cocktail from two dimensions into three.
