Cocktails

There’s something special about cocktails. They transport us to another place and time, from a crusty fisherman’s bar in Hemingway’s 1930s Cuba, to a dark, wood-paneled 1960s lounge wafting with cigarette smoke, to the casual, neighborhood vibe of an Irish pub. Inspired by this sense of escapism, I created cocktail characters based on their origins, characteristics, names or adaptations by popular culture.
