Look to the past for inspiration—revive forgotten flavours, honour time-tested techniques, and explore the stories behind iconic serves. Then, channel your creativity into reimagining them for today and tomorrow. Whether you’re infusing a local tradition with a modern spin, or transforming a classic recipe, your challenge is to create a drink that captures the soul of the past—while pushing boundaries, incorporating modern tools and skills.

Innovation can take many forms. It could mean using contemporary ingredients, exploring new methods of presentation, new techniques… The key is to modernize in a way that feels authentic, creative, and exciting.

Respect tradition, but don’t be afraid to rework it. The future belongs to those who dare to twist the familiar into something fresh, forward-thinking, and unforgettable.
