From a TV Show to a project
Drama, bloodshed, love, and dragon have always been the staple of the fantasy genre. Lately, the spectacle show "House of The Dragon" has been the center of attention and steadily becoming a standing monument aside from its former Game of Thrones series in popular culture.
The lore, characters, and concept have captured our attention to dig deep into the fantasy and mystical world. Therefore, for 2022's Halloween event, we decided to create the "Fire and Light" project, combining mixology and photography along with the material from the show concept to create a themed cocktail photoshoot.

THE IDEAS AND CREATING THE SET
War and fire are the chosen theme for the setting. In the set, we use smoke, coins, and jewelry to show the houses' wealth and the aftermath when everything would eventually burn to ashes.

THE COCKTAILS
The two drinks named "Fire and Blood" and "Light the Way" are inspired by the story's two central characters. We wish to convey the spirit and nature of Rhaenera and Alicent via the two cocktails.
