HexClad, Still G.I.N. Unveil First-Ever Collaboration, Bringing Gordon Ramsay, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg Together For A Next-Gen Cocktail Shaker
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a collaboration no one saw coming, but everyone will be happy it did, HexClad, the revolutionary cookware brand backed by Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay, and Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop, the ultra-premium spirit from cultural icons Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, today unveiled their first joint product: the HexClad Cocktail Shaker.
This collaboration marks a first for both brands and the first time Ramsay, Dre, and Snoop have come together, mixing HexClad's design-driven innovation with Still G.I.N.'s modern, premium approach to spirits.
The shaker captures what defines each brand: precision, quality, and a belief that everyday experiences deserve to feel elevated. It's more than a shaker; it's a refined expression of the craftsmanship both brands stand for.
Celebrated industrial designer Ini Archibong created the HexClad x Still G.I.N. Cocktail Shaker as the kind of piece that demands attention the moment it hits the bar, showcasing Still G.I.N.'s versatility across any cocktail, from classic recipes to modern creations. Drawing from the striking geometry of the Still G.I.N. bottle and HexClad's iconic hexagon pattern, Ini created a shaker that's modern, sculptural, and unapologetically smooth. The double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless-steel body keeps cocktails ice-cold without watering them down. A hex-textured exterior gives it a luxe, unmistakable edge, while discreet unit measurement markers inside the cap ensure every pour hits exactly right.
"This collaboration bridges innovation, culture, and craftsmanship in a way that feels like a true expression of both brands. Gordon, Dre, and Snoop each set their own bar for excellence, and bringing their worlds together through this product is something we're incredibly proud of," said Danny Winer, HexClad CEO and Co-Founder. "The shaker is engineered to perform, but it also carries the energy of the icons behind it."
"What connects Still G.I.N. and HexClad is a commitment to design, innovation, and products that actually perform. We built our gin to be supremely mixable, whether you're making classic gin cocktails or using it in something unexpected. This shaker captures that same versatility and attention to detail," said Patrick Halbert, By Dre and Snoop CEO.
To announce the campaign, Gordon and Dre will star in a dynamic, humor-infused commercial spot created by KODE MEDIA and directed by Peter Franklyn Banks, that draws parallels between cooking and musical craft. Available exclusively at HexClad.com in Gold and Chrome for $99, the shaker will elevate the cocktail ritual from start to finish, capturing the shared ethos of rebellion, innovation and excellence of both brands. Just in time for the holidays, the shaker is now available in the US, Canada, UK, Germany and Australia.

ABOUT BY DRE AND SNOOP
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg launched their namesake spirits brand in 2024 to instant success, with no signs of stopping. The iconic duo recently followed up its first release in this space – the innovative, award-winning canned cocktail line, Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop – with another acclaimed effort: their first pure premium bottled spirit, Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop, which went on to take Masters Medal honors at the 2025 Gin Masters Awards. Paying homage to "Still D.R.E." – the signature hit from Dre's groundbreaking 2001 album featuring an immortal Snoop performance – Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop proves the ultimate clean, modern light gin, artisanally distilled in the U.S.A. to be defiantly smooth and supremely mixable.
Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop marks a natural evolution for the legendary pair. Long associated with gin throughout their reign as game-changing entertainer-entrepreneurs, to create their latest co-venture they took initial inspiration from Snoop Dogg's timeless hit song "Gin and Juice" – which Dr. Dre produced for Snoop's debut album Doggystyle. Distributed nationally by Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, both Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop and Still G.I.N by Dre and Snoop are available at major U.S. retailers and liquor stores. www.bydreandsnoop.com

THREE LEGENDS. TWO POWERHOUSE BRANDS. ONE ICONIC SHAKER.
THREE LEGENDS. TWO POWERHOUSE BRANDS. ONE ICONIC SHAKER.
GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 14, 2026, Guangzhou Zhongshan Whampoa School for Hong Kong and Macao Students (ZWIS) and Foshan Zhongshan Whampoa Star-raise School for Hong Kong and Macao Students (ZWSS)—both established by ZWIE—formally signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), marking the launch of several substantive collaborative initiatives. The two ZWIE schools will introduce EdUHK's "Mainland Secondary School Principals' Recommendation Scheme" and provide outstanding EdUHK students with opportunities for school visits, immersive on-campus experiences, and internships. The partners will also jointly organize admission seminars and parent engagement activities to offer families cutting-edge educational guidance.
Professor May Cheng May-hung, Vice President (Academic) of EdUHK, said that the signing of the memorandum marks a significant and solid step forward in promoting educational innovation and deepening exchanges between both parties. This collaboration covers multiple areas, which will enhance students' practical abilities, foster professional exchanges among teachers, and further strengthen the cooperation between the educational sectors of the two regions.
Dr. Peggy Zhai, Principal of Zhongshan Whampoa School for Hong Kong and Macao Students, said that this collaboration represents a profound integration of academia and practice. It not only creates a fast track to quality education for students and injects new vitality into teacher development and teaching research advancement, but also provides a high-end, quality career platform for outstanding students of EdUHK, further promoting the integration of education in the Greater Bay Area.
The partnership is founded on the alignment of educational philosophies and mutual high regard for each other's strengths. EdUHK is a government-funded higher education institution dedicated to advancing learning and teaching through the provision of teacher education programs, as well as diverse academic and research programs in social sciences and humanities. In the March-released "2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject" in education, EdUHK ranked 12th globally, fourth in Asia, and second in Hong Kong. Additionally, it was rated as a "5-Star Institution" in the "QS Stars University Ratings." The Zhongshan Whampoa Schools for Hong Kong and Macao Students, established in Guangzhou and Foshan by ZWIE based on over two decades of experience, have grown into leading force in educating Hong Kong and Macao students in the Greater Bay Area. The Guangzhou campus has obtained authorization for the IB MYP-DP continuum and Cognia accreditation, and was listed among the "Hurun Education•Top 100 International Schools in China 2025."
As a pioneer in the integration of Eastern and Western holistic education, ZWIE has been deeply rooted in the Greater Bay Area for over 23 years and has established and supported multiple IB World Schools. Grounded in local educational characteristics and integrated with the IB curriculum framework, ZWIE actively promotes the fusion and innovation of IB and Chinese education, constructing a coherent 15-year IB holistic education ecosystem from kindergarten through high school. It was elected as the founding chair unit of Chong Wa International Baccalaureate Schools Association (CISA), officially recognized by the IB in Greater China. This achievement is underpinned by an educational legacy spanning a century.
ZWIE's approach to integrated education traces back to the great-grandfather of Mr. James Wong, Chairman of ZWIE—Mr. Wu Shangshi, a pioneering figure in Chinese hydrogeography and a master of modern geography in Lingnan. Mr. Wu Shangshi graduated from the English Department of Sun Yat-sen University, pursued advanced studies in France under renowned French geographers, and upon returning to China, taught at Sun Yat-sen University where he later served as head of the Geography Department.
Mr. Wu Shangshi was proficient in English, French, and German. His translation of Hydrology of Rivers was the first French monograph translated in the Chinese geographical community. His published Research on the Topography of the Eastern Foothills of Baiyun Mountain was one of China's earliest true topographical papers. The "Pearl River Delta" geographical theory was finalized and matured under his research, and the "Seven Star Hill Ancient Marine Abrasion Relics" he discovered are now listed as a key Guangzhou cultural relics protection unit. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he led teachers and students on a walking survey of the mountains and rivers of northern Guangdong, holding steadfastly to his lectures amidst the fires of war, integrating a sense of national and familial commitment into the educational ethos.
Many of Mr. Wu Shangshi's descendants have dedicated themselves to education, and this educational ideal of "rooting in China, looking to the world" has been passed down through generations. In 2003, Mr. James Wong was entrusted by his family to return from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, the place where Mr. Wu Shangshi studied and taught, to explore integrated Chinese and Western education for the new era. The name "Zhonghuang" (中黃) is derived from "Zhonghua Yanhuang" (中華炎黃), and from its inception, its mission has been to inherit and promote Chinese culture.
For over two decades, ZWIE has driven curriculum innovation as its core, developing an integrated curriculum system with both local roots and international perspective. In recent years, ZWIE has continually advanced curriculum evolution, deeply integrating AI-enabled teaching while strengthening science and innovation education. It has explored joint programs with several century-old prestigious schools in the Greater Bay Area to cultivate top innovative talents among Hong Kong and Macao students. As a rising star among schools for Hong Kong and Macao students in the region, ZWIE achieved remarkable results in its inaugural 2025 DSE cohort: at the Guangzhou campus, 46.6% of graduates received offers from top three universities in Hong Kong, 73.3% from top five, including four admitted to the University of Hong Kong (covering flagship programs in Medicine and International Business and Global Management). At the Foshan campus, all inaugural DSE graduates received offers from top five Hong Kong universities or mainland 985/211 institutions, achieving outcomes comparable to Hong Kong Band 1 schools. All graduates from the ZWIE American Curriculum Department gained admission to top 100 world universities.
Mr. James Wong, Chairman of ZWIE, expressed that ZWIE originated in Hong Kong and has accumulated 23 years of practical experience in integrated education within the Greater Bay Area. This in-depth collaboration with EdUHK not only signifies high recognition of ZWIE's educational practices but also provides strong support for ZWIE's return to Hong Kong to extend its operations. Mr. Wong mentioned that ZWIE is actively promoting the launch of a new Hong Kong project, "Zhongshan Whampoa Academy," dedicated to exploring Sino-foreign integrated international curricula with Chinese characteristics, cultivating innovative talents with both noble character and global competence. He looks forward to this as a new starting point—based in the Greater Bay Area, facing the "Belt and Road"—to contribute the wisdom of Chinese education to the world.
