Blooming
• SlovakiaBartender Martin Župina of Slovakia is making his community bloom! His Ketel One ‘Blooming’ cocktail is garnished with a meadow flower seeds card, with proceeds going to suppor the organisation Climate Needs You.
- "I made a drink which is called blooming. And i really would like to bloom our community in the terms of drinking better and more sophisticated drinks and as well to make sure that we start to take care about the nature more. My drink is the Martini which the Ketel One vodka was made for with nutty flavoured Balance dry vermouth from Slovakia. Service is made from 100 years recycled wood which the company St.vol from east of Slovakia made for me. Main point behind is to don’t use all the time new wood but you could do it
- as well from recycled one. My garnish with good aspect is the bussiness card with the QR code next to the cocktail. But this card is special because is made from the raising paper. It means that inside of that card is the meadow flower seeds. So if you pour water over it after some time the Flowers start to bloom from it. Martini is not super popular drink in Slovakia thats the reason why i choose it and ask three best bars in Slovakia which are SKY Bar, Michalská cocktail room and Antique American Bar to cooperate with me
- which you could see in video. So we try to teach people to drink this beautiful cocktail especially with ratio 60ml:20ml. Last one with card could grow the nature by themselves by buing a drink. Money from this project will go to the organization called Climate needs you from Slovakia. Let’s Help the nature together."
Taste it for yourself.
