Hendrick’s Gin celebrates World Cucumber Day online

-

IN celebratio­n of World Cucumber Day on June 14, Hendrick’s Gin invites you to try its first augmented reality game, The Cucumber Horticultu­rist on http:// worldcucum­berday. asia/. The game allows you to earn currency through cultivatin­g cucumbers. Plant the seeds of delightful peculiarit­y, and get the chance to win discounts off your next Hendrick’s Gin purchase.

To win the game, simply grow the cucumber plant by collecting falling water droplets on the screen. But steer away from roses. A stray petal can bring the round to a thorny end. With water in the pot, you’ll be able to grow a vine with fruits ripe for picking.

Upon proving your green thumb, you’ll receive your cucumber currency over email, presented as an eticket coupon for 15 percent off of Hendrick’s Gin, capped at a limited number of coupons. The discount can then be redeemed at boozeshop. ph until July 31. You can only win a coupon once although you’re encouraged to play to your heart’s content.

The cucumber plays a pivotal role in giving Hendrick’s Gin its delectably unusual flavor. The spirit’s distillati­on process includes infusions of rose and cucumber that yields an extraordin­arily inviting gin that is a rare union of lightness and complexity. The cucumber gives ample opportunit­y for expressive experiment­ation that pleases both the eye and palate. Its remarkable versatilit­y is the very reason that Cucumber Day was invented in 2011 by English horticultu­rists, paving the way for the yearly celebratio­n by Hendrick’s Gin.
