Bali gears up for World Cucumber Day with a line-up of peculiar experiences and refreshingly crisp cocktails.
June in Bali usually means rising temperatures and sun-drenched days, but Hendrick’s Gin has something a little cooler in mind. This summer, the gin-maker brings back World Cucumber Day with a quirky twist, transforming Atlas Beach Club into a refreshing escape on 14 June 2025. More than just a nod to the cucumber, this island-wide event celebrates everything delightfully offbeat about Hendrick’s experience.
The celebration begins early, from 1-12 June 2025, with a Cucumber Stamp Hunt across Canggu. Sip your way through Segno, Santanera, Bar Souvenir, The Shady Fox and Mailroom, collecting stamps with every Hendrick’s-based cocktail. Those who complete the challenge stand to win a VIP pass to the main event at Atlas Beach Club, plus surprises from Hendrick’s Gin.
The return of the Cucumber Currency Exchange is at the heart of the festivities. Bring a cucumber to select bars during ‘Cucumber Hour’ and trade it for a perfectly chilled Hendrick’s & Tonic. It’s a playful way to highlight the gin’s key botanical and adds a touch of mischief to the usual cocktail routine. Over 70 venues across Jakarta, Bali, Bandung, Central and East Java are taking part, making it one of the most expansive celebrations of its kind.
On 14 June 2025, Atlas Beach Club will host a day of hands-on activities, including Hendrick’s Cocktail Lab, where bartenders walk guests through building their signature service. The Hendrick’s Refreshment Station is also an experiential corner focused on cooling down with cucumber in inventive ways—beyond just garnishes.
Look out for the elusive Hendrick’s Golden Cucumber for those shopping online or in-store. Hidden in bottles purchased throughout June, it unlocks exclusive merchandise, with one lucky winner receiving a mystery grand prize. This year’s World Cucumber Day promises something unexpected at every turn—just the kind of refreshment needed to break away from the everyday.
