Now playing
Six signatures like six tracks on a record. Every drink tells its song.
Side A
Salsa · Celia Cruz, 1998
¡Azúcar! Life as a carnival: celebration, colour, resilience.
Mango and banana bring the tropical warmth that runs through every note of the song, while coconut vinegar adds acidity and a Caribbean soul that smells of Cuba.
Reggae · Bob Marley & The Wailers, 1977
Don't worry about a thing. A mantra written in exile, so as not to be worn down by worries.
Jamaican rum recalls where the genre was born, chamomile the laid-back spirit of the lyrics, toasted coconut the tropical warmth that runs through the whole song. And three drops, green, black and yellow, draw the flag of Jamaica in the glass.
Eurodance · Corona, 1993
The night as something that heals sadness with rhythm.
An Italian project behind a face that seemed to be something else: two identities, one voice. Italian brandy brings the drink back to its true origin, while strawberry yogurt and a touch of bubble gum recall the dance floors of the 90s.
Side B
Funk · James Brown, 1970
A machine that never stops.
Coffee-infused bourbon brings a relentless rhythmic drive, while bitter-chocolate vermouth plays the bass line: the underlying flavour that gives structure to everything else. A Coca Buton foam closes the circle, same energy, same pulse.
Surf pop · The Beach Boys, 1963
A list of iconic beaches, California as a utopia of freedom and endless summer.
Tequila and Corona beer tell that freedom our way, while a pickled cordial adds a pinch of American burger culture. Salt and muscovado on the rim are the sand of the beach, not the sea.
Folk-country · John Denver, 1971
Almost heaven, West Virginia: nostalgia, belonging, the need to go back home.
Bourbon and peated whisky bring the rural, mountain imagery of the song, while apple butter and black walnuts tell of the same land. The torched marshmallow is the sweet of campfires, the warmth of family evenings.
