MARTINI WEEK AT HIDDEN SOCIETY
The Beginning • The Transformation • The Aftermath
Martini I – The Beginning
Connection to the Artwork: This cocktail is linked to the artwork because both capture a fleeting moment of beauty. Just as the artist painted the first light breaking over the harbour, the cocktail expresses the freshness and optimism of a new beginning through apricot, citrus blossom and delicate floral notes. It represents the moment before the story unfolds.
Martini II – The Transformation
Connection to the Artwork: This cocktail is linked to the artwork because it challenges perception in the same way Cubist painters challenged traditional ways of seeing. No single flavour dominates the drink. Instead, savoury, saline and mineral elements reveal themselves gradually from different angles, creating a constantly changing experience with every sip.
Martini III – The Aftermath
Connection to the Artwork: This cocktail is linked to the artwork because it represents completion, harmony and transcendence. Chamomile brings calm and reflection, while pear adds elegance and purity. Like the artwork, the cocktail seeks balance and beauty, offering a sense of arrival after the journey through the previous two martinis.
