From 19 to 21 July, Hendrick’s Gin is inviting all cucumberists, gin lovers and their curious companions to indulge in a cool diversion with a series of summer soirees at select bars in Kuala Lumpur along with the highly anticipated return of its annual Cucumber Currency Exchange. This ultimate Refreshing Encounter series will see the return of Hendrick’s long-awaited Cucumber Hour. Come 21 July, in celebration of the mighty cucumber, 59 bars across the city will host the annual Cucumber Currency Exchange making the green of cucumber (any species permitted!) legal tender. For one night only, you can exchange the remarkable fruit for a delectable Hendrick’s and Tonic.

Daily MCO Drink #748: MAYFLOWER MARTINI, made with 45ml Caorunn Highland Strength gin, 15ml parts of St Germain Elderflower liqueur, Giffard Abricot du Rossillon, lemon juice and apple juice, shaken over ice and strained. Adapted from a recipe by Wayne Collins, this is a good balance of fruity and floral, more so because I used the Caorunn Highland Strength which has fruity and floral notes of its own AND is strong enough to stand up against the other flavours. #dailymcodrink #mytipsyturvy #tipsyturvycocktails #tipsyturvygin #caorunn #giffard #stgermain https://www.instagram.com/p/CcN0EnjJPCL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daily MCO Drink #743: HIGHLAND HONEY, made with 45ml Caorunn Highland Strength Gin, 15ml Drambuie honey liqueur, 22.5ml lemon juice, 15ml Green Chartreuse, shaken over ice and strained over clear ice block from @isipadu_icecompany. Adapted from a recipe found on the Caorunn official website, but I replaced almost every ingredient except the gin LOL. Drambuie for honey syrup, Green Chartreuse for Yellow Chartreuse, and lemon for lime juice. Actually tasted pretty decent, I like the way the Drambuie’s honey notes go with the herbal notes of the Chartreuse and Highland Strength’s fruity peppery notes, but becaus eof the high strength, the gin isn’t overpowered. #tipsyturvygin #tipsyturvycocktails #mytipsyturvy #dailyMCOdrink #tipsyturvyliqueur #chartreuse #drambuie #caorunn https://www.instagram.com/p/CcAgJhKJsGx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #742: GOLDEN MARTINEZ, made with 25ml Cucielo Blanco Vermouth di Torino, 50ml Ortodoxy Colombian Aged Gin, 3 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters, 1 barspoon Giffard Maraschino liquer, stirred over ive and strained. Oooh, this drink taken from the official Cucielo website is quite yummy. It really highlights the vermouth nicely while still letting the gin shine. One to make again for sure. #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvygin #tipsyturvyvermouth #mytipsyturvy #cucielo #dictadorrum #gin #vermouth #angostura https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-X2LxJBJi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #741: ADIOS AMIGOS, made with 30ml Plantation Original Dark Rum, 15ml Remy Martin VSOP cognac, 15ml Hendrick’s Gin, 15ml Cucielo Blanco vermouth, 7.5ml each of lime juice and simple syrup, shaken over ice and strained. Used up my final 15ml of Remy Martin VSOP for this, but it was worth it. It may seem like a lot going on, but everything comes together quite nicely. It’s spirit forward with just enough sour and sweet to bind the different spirits together. Adapted from Victor ‘Trader Vic’ Bergeron's 1972 edition of Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide (1972 revised edition). Trader apparently said of this drink: "You know that adios means good-bye. You drink two or three of these, and it's adios, believe me, it's adios." #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvygin #tipsyturvyrum #tipsyturvybrandy #tipsyturvycognac #tipsyturvyvermouth #hendricksgin #cucielo #plantationrum #remymartin #cognac #rum #gin #vermouth https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5N8_EJBrH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #740: BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL COCKTAIL, Made with 50ml Caorunn Highland Strength gin, 30ml St Germain Elderflower liqueur, 30ml grapefruit juice, shaken over ice and strained. Adapted from a drink created in 2007 by Philip Spee at The Beverly Hills Hotel, California, this is a 3-ingredient drink that was so wonderully balanced and tasty that I was surprised to find that it was made in 2007 and not 1937 of something. Maybe it’s because I went with the Highland Strength Caorunn, but the floral notes were actually quite pronounced, and it wasn’t even just the elderflower. The grapefruit also complemented the apple notes of the gin wonderfully. #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvygin #mytipsyturvy #caorunn #gin #gincocktail #stgermain #elderflower https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2i7nQJC_4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #737: ALABAMA SHOOTER, made with 15ml Gozio Amaretto, 15ml Southern Comfort, 7.5ml Morrison and Mackay Sloe Gi, stirred over ice and strained into shotglass with 1/2 barspoon of lemon juice. One of those cocktail shooters that make you wonder “OH GOD WHY.” #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvygin #mytipsyturvy #tipsyturvyliqueur #cocktailshots https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbu6AeopKCQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
