HENDRICK’S GIN TO CROSS AMERICA IN A GIANT CUCUMBER GARNISHER

Unusual Scottish gin maker announced quest to “properly garnish”
thousands upon thousands of cocktails.
(Hollywood, CA) Hendrick’s Gin (which is itself infused with cucumber) has unveiled
what Ambassador Mark Stoddard describes as “an eye-popping, wondrously
strange cucumber slicing device that will
travel the U.S. with the sole purpose of offering the most beautifully
garnished Hendrick’s Gin cocktails ever to grace a glass.”

“The
Hendrick’s Grand Garnisher” can achieve road speeds of up to 25 mph,
thanks to a hybrid powertrain combining a large diesel motor and a
well-dressed gentleman pedaling a large-wheeled bicycle. The
38-foot-long
device relies upon an elaborate system of pneumatic tubing,
interlocking gears and rotating blades to slice up to 18 cucumbers per
hour. “It’s not the most efficient way to garnish a cocktail,” explained
Stoddard, “but we do believe it is the most spectacular.”
The Hendrick’s Grand Garnisher started its maiden voyage from New York City on June 14th,
World Cucumber Day,” said Stoddard, “driving westward from city to
city, pausing in select locations to
offer citizens strikingly perfect garnishes, cucumber delights and
other oddly refreshing activities.
The Hendrick's US tour hit Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, August 22nd.
"This is part of our effort to end misconception of the cucumber as an innocuous salad ingredient".
"As the core infusion that makes our gin unusually exquisite, we feel the cucumber deserves not only respect but wonder".

About
Hendrick’s Gin
Hendrick’s Gin
Every
drop of Hendrick’s Gin is created by a single stillman with the help of
a lone apprentice working on two utterly dissimilar types of stills (a
long-necked Carter-Head and plump-bellied Pot Still). Hendrick’s
is infused with Rose and Cucumber and instilled with a supporting cast
of 11 botanicals. It is overseen by its creator, Master Distiller,
Lesley Gracie, who has always been consummately peculiar. Hendrick’s
gained widespread acclaim and received numerous awards,
including a Double Gold medal in the 2014 Fifty Best Gin Awards; ‘Gin
of the Year’ at the Food and Wine Magazine Awards and voted ‘World’s
Best Gin’ by the Wall Street Journal. Hendrick’s Gin has an ABV of 44%.
