I was fascinated when interviewing Chris for his future menu cocktail as he has a real passion for Thai food. I’d never created a Thai-style cocktail before so instantly accepted the challenge! It just shows that you can’t work on your own, you need great people around you for inspiration and to take your mind on new journeys. Next time you meet a new person, or group of people, take it as an opportunity to enrich your creative flow, push the boundaries and invent a brand new drinking experience.
