Round 1 · Cinematic Cocktails: drinks that tell a story

Some drinks are famous before you taste them. A martini ordered a particular way, a glass raised in a final scene: film has shaped how we order as much as any bar menu. Round 1 asks teams to make a drink that works like a scene, with a setting, a character and a moment you remember. The best cinematic cocktails aren’t props. They have to taste as good as they look on screen, and they have to land in seven minutes, in front of a live audience.
