World Duty Free collaborated with mixologist Charlie McCarthy and glassware artist Melissa Bailey to create the cocktail recipes, available via a Facebook page, and glasses based on some of this summer’s top music festival acts.
For instance, the "99 Truffles" is topped with Stolichnaya Gold, a reference to Jay-Z’s love of bling. Meanwhile, "Fire & Ice" represents Beyoncè, with its use of Veuve Cliquot champagne, lychee juice and chilli, and the glass's curvaceous design.
