They say what goes around comes around. We spend our lives chasing what’s next, only to realise the things worth keeping were never far away. Maybe growing up isn’t about moving forward—it’s about finding our way back. Back to honest ingredients, timeless classics, and drinks that bring people together. That’s why I chose the Daiquiri. Three ingredients: rum, lime, and sugar. Nothing to hide behind. It’s often the first cocktail a bartender learns and the one they spend a lifetime perfecting. Before the Daiquiri, there was BACARDÍ. Since 1862, it has endured earthquakes, fire, Prohibition, and exile because some things are worth passing on. To me, rum has never been about luxury. It belongs to sailors, workers, dreamers—the people who build, lose, and begin again. Frisbee is my tribute to that legacy. I never wanted to reinvent the Daiquiri because classics don’t ask to be replaced; they ask to be understood. BACARDÍ Carta Blanca remains the hero, while banana, lime, cucumber, sesame oil, and a whisper of absinthe reveal what was already there, never competing with the rum. I called it Frisbee because classics are meant to be passed on. Every generation catches one, leaves its mark, and throws it
