The FUTURE ICONS Team title was awarded to Team Thailand, with PATIS WATTANAKAL of Oxbo, TEERADON APIDAJSAK of Opium and RUBEN KOLOSA of Rabbit Hole impressing judges with their cocktail Voyage. Presented as a high altitude flight experience during their fifteen minute guest shift, the highball topped with creamy foam was designed to highlight the fresh alpine notes of GREY GOOSE Altius vodka.

Reflecting on the experience, the team shared that the process helped them learn more about each other, explaining that they discovered “each other’s strengths, weaknesses and working styles” along the way. One of the biggest challenges was “managing different opinions and working styles,” something they said was inevitable when creating together. As they put it, working as a team means accepting differences and finding ways to move forward together. Looking back, their advice for teams entering FUTURE ICONS next year was simple: “Be ready and be yourself.”
