Equiano then challenged each bartender to select a recipe from “The Ideal Bartender,” pick an inspirational figure in black history and create an Equiano version of their Tom Bullock cocktail, telling the story of why they picked that person. The cocktail needed to be mindful of Equiano and its tasting notes, the significance of Tom Bullock, as well as the inspirational figure they’re spotlighting.
