Can everything be translated into a cocktail?
With years of experience and a shared passion for groundbreaking creativity, Anne Linden and Maria Gorbatschova joined forces to deliver a unique workshop focused on the art and science of cocktail and bar menu concept development. Grounded in extensive scientific literature and enriched by their own practical expertise, they explored how themes or objects can be transformed into cohesive, compelling cocktail concepts.
Through a combination of theory and hands-on examples, Anne and Maria provided attendees with well-founded strategies and actionable tools to spark creativity and craft engaging, effective concepts for cocktails, bar menus, and event programming.
This workshop was presented across Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne, and Munich, in collaboration with the German Bartenders Union (DBU) and Bombay Sapphire Gin—helping bartenders and industry professionals unlock fresh inspiration and innovative approaches rooted in both art and science.
