Exploring Wanderlust Pop-Up Reel (April 2021)

Exploring Wanderlust was an interactive cocktail experience filled with transportive cocktails inspired by specific places that inspired me while traveling and drinking at the world's best bars. The map-like menu design elevated each drink with background on the inspiration, places to drink, and more.

Cocktails included bespoke ingredients such as hybrid fermented tomato, sansho pepper-infused genever, yuzu, acidified strawberry basil cordial, and more.
