Windmill Project
• South KoreaBartender Minguk Yu of South Korea aspires to aid small cafes and local producers in her home town, by providing them with an easy-to- make Ketel One ‘Windmill Project’ cocktail - it not only supports the local producer, but brings better margins for the smaller business owners.
- "My hometown, Changwon is known for cafes. Changwon has the second biggest number of newly opening cafes in Korea. Unfortunately, many small cafes in Changwon have been hugely impacted by Covid-19. In a hope of spreading good influence in my hometown, I came up with a project to help them. With the city’s specialty products, I created a cocktail recipe that anyone can follow. And I share this recipe with small cafes in Changwon by visiting to the cafes and posting it on the city managed website. Through this, Cafes can increase their customer base by selling cocktails. Because selling
- alcohol is uncommon in Korea. Also, local farmers can expect to have higher sales and promote their products. As if the windmill keeps on turning, any profits will be used as seed money for carrying out this project in the future; and consequently, to help small business owners' survival. "
Taste it for yourself.
