Cocktail Inspiration:
The cocktail’s flavor was inspired by a memory of enjoying fish tacos with pineapple and mango salsa at a Mexican resort. The dish was so flavorful and refreshing that I tried to recreate it using mango, pineapple, cilantro, and lime in the cocktail. 4 tacos and 4 cocktails in, I found myself tipsy and floating down a lazy river, which led to the name “Potent Floating.” The design of the presentation featured two teddy graham bears in a gummy tube floating on the cocktail poolside. The goal was to capture the essence of that memorable fun and exciting midsummer vacation.
