Bartender top tips
When I start to create a new cocktail, I always focus on the end flavour and then work back from that to construct it. However, in this case I gave myself the task of creating a cocktail led by the colour (Living Coral is the 2019 Pantone Colour of the Year), and then had to create a delicious recipe to fulfil my brief. Sometimes, challenging yourself and making yourself do things the wrong way around, can make you think outside the box and use your creativity to come up with something new.
