Hendrick’s Host Secret Gin Pop-Up at Hotel du Vin

The next event takes place this Thursday and Friday (6th and 7th July) at Hotel du Vin Wimbledon. Simply sit back, sip a Hendricks & tonic and let Murray fever take hold.
Since early summer Hendrick’s have been encouraging gin enthusiasts to grow their own cucumbers using a secret ingredient – love. Whether that means reading them a bedtime story or singing them a soothing song.
In the quest to find the perfect G&T, Victorian scientists will continue their ‘experiments’ at the secret pop-ups. Visitors will be invited to join in the experiments and find out once and for all how easy it is to read a cucumber’s mind.
If that all sounds a bit cray, rest assured, there will also be plenty of Hedrick’s to indulge in. Available at Hotel du Vin for a short time only, the limited edition menu includes the classic Hendrick’s and Tonic, as well as the fruity Chelsea Rose served for four in a specially designed teapot.
The pop-ups are free and all cocktails are just £8.50, so we can’t imagine a better opportunity to test your cucumber compatibility. Or to simply enjoy one with a gin.
