The 2026 Golden Pearl Mixology Contest invites the UK’s most visionary bartenders to explore the synergy between traditional Taiwanese botanicals and modern cocktail culture.
The Brief
Competitors are tasked with creating a signature cocktail that tells a story of cultural fusion. The drink must incorporate at least one traditional Taiwanese tea or bubble tea element (pearls, taro, oolong, etc.) while maintaining the sophistication of a luxury serve.
