ArtTender EP 4 : Kaylin x Jody Rahme #StirCreativity

[addtoany]

Although they are meeting for the very first time, Kaylin Car and Jody Rahme seem filled with excitement and anticipation, for this impending collaboration. This is a unique opportunity for both of them, to join forces as an artist and a bartender, to create something brand new, while remaining true and authentic in their creative expression.

The two creatives instantly connect, bouncing ideas off each other, and having fun in the process. Watch the episode here to see how they conceptualise and brainstorm ideas, swap the tools of their respective trades, and ultimately create something beautiful together.

Jody’s task for the day is to mix an original drink that not only reflects his personal aesthetic and taste, but also ties together with Kaylin’s design. As per the brief, he has incorporated some of Kaylin’s tool, to create this ultimate Bombay Sapphire cocktail. In keeping with the theme of this collaboration, Jody has chosen to wear a shirt that mirrors Kaylin’s jacket.

The garnishes on Jody’s drink include orange peels that Kaylin showed him how to sew together, as well as one of Kaylin’s fabric flowers. These features finish off the drink perfectly. Drawing inspiration from the tiki bar where he works, Jody chose to name his drink Escapism. This is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the collaboration itself, which got both Jody and Kaylin out of their comfort zones for the day.

The recipe is his original creation, and each ingredient plays a vital role in the flavour combination and look and feel of the drink.
