Siol Collective
• IrelandBartender Mark Cooney of Ireland is deeply passionate about is his local culture and his cocktail Ketel One ‘Siol’, is his vessel for raising awareness and sharing his local traditions.
- SIol, the irish word for seed, is the name of the collective and drink. The dandelion seed in Ireland, represents the distribution of knowledge. In this instance, a digital forum was created with the intent to preserve traditions, focusing on Irish Traditional music, its identity, and the community it is a part of. Through the distribution of the Siol QR coasters to participating accounts, our aim is to inspire likeminded people to share their traditional music & culture. The ultimate goal is to create a global network and database that celebrates global cultures & traditions, so we can be inspired
- by each other.
Taste it for yourself.
