Gin & Tonic with manners
Thanks to Steve Stammers from Weber Shandwick for giving me a heads up on this free public event which only went for 3 days in Paddington. I’m a G&T drinker at heart so I was more than happy to try and pop in and check out this pop up promotional event. The Hendrick’s Refined Courtship Clinic was run by the entertaining Dr Humphrey SixWivs and Mrs Isabella Forlornicate. The art of how to use a fan to express your intentions for the women and the meaning of different styles of hats for the men were explained with much humor and a few laughs around the room. Keeping ‘a cucumbers distance’ when greeting someone was quite funny. Apparently only Hendrick’s is made with infusions of cucumber and rose petals so I guess that’s why it goes so well with a slice of cucumber instead of a slice of fresh lime which I’m used to having with other brands.
Sydney public opening dates were:
Thursday, 23 June (2 pm – 8 pm)
Friday, 24 June (2 pm – 8 pm)
Saturday, 23 June (12 pm – 8 pm)
