This initiative builds upon Pernod Ricard's existing Drink More Water program, which aims to promote responsible drinking by encouraging patrons to pair cocktails with water at bars.\n\nThe core of the Split Drinks campaign involves a specially designed glass with a dual-chamber structure. This glass can hold both a cocktail and water separately, allowing individuals to enjoy both beverages simultaneously. By consuming both the cocktail and water together, drinkers can better regulate their alcohol intake while still savoring a premium cocktail experience.\n\nTo support this campaign, Pernod Ricard Korea has collaborated with Time Out Asia, a prominent lifestyle magazine.
