The Lab · by request

Cocktails that don't exist yet.

The Lab is our R&D room — where a drink is reverse-engineered from a collision, not copied from a recipe. The method, and the case files, open to members.

The inspiration table

The heart of the Lab

A workbench for dreaming up a new drink: drop in bottles, ingredients and their transformations, words, glasses and references. Gather what belongs together into a module and let it be born as a recipe.

Transformations

Every ingredient in the pantry can evolve: becoming a cordial, syrup, soda, shrub, powder or garnish. Pick a technique and see what you can transform — then take it to the prebatch.

The lab's creations

Each creation is a case of the method: a memory or a collision, one dominant constraint, and several exits. The Break a classic series opens with your email or the member password; the rest, by invitation.
