Cucumber Day
Hendrick’s, infused with rose and cucumber, decided it was only right to own National Cucumber Day, June 14th. Each Cucumber Day, Hendrick’s activated in a very unusual way. Whether with an airship and an ad in the New York Times, a two-day party on a pier in NYC, or a Giant Rube-Goldberg machine, Cucumber Day never disappointed.
