"Growing up surrounded by mountains and the sea, I've always wanted to make a positive impact on the land that nurtured me, using a method that resonates with my interests. I proposed the "Green's Blue Cycle Project" , which involves exchanging cocktails for recycled glass
waste.

Green's Blue Cycle Project

Collaborating with the local community-driven coastal cleanup organization, Hiin Studio, known for their ongoing beach conservation efforts. They provide the glass waste, which I then transform into a form of sea token.

Designing 4 Ketel One cocktails utilizing surplus ingredients. Three are event cocktails. The fourth is the competition cocktail: Summer Bay. With every order of an event cocktail, customers are given a sea token. Collecting three sea tokens allows them to redeem Summer Bay.

Donating 10% of the event's revenue to the collaborative association of Hiin Studio.

I hope to continue our collaboration in diverse ways in the future, such as co-hosting beach cleanup events.
Through this project, I aspire to introduce consumers to the possibilities of Ketel One flavor creations through cocktails, address the ocean waste issue, and showcase the utilization of local fruits.

By broadening the impact of my efforts, my goal is to make a modest contribution to the improvement of our ocean.
How about walking with me on the beach for a beach cleanup another day?"
