"For me, these images are not about monotony, but about the value of the ordinary. The repeated soup cans remind us how deeply we are attached to familiar things. Corn soup is something I always reach for. Its simple flavor connects me to an early memory - a bowl of soup my mother made for me when I was sick."
"It was the first soup I ever tasted, and the one I kept asking for again and again. That experience taught me that even when ingredients remain the same, the emotions carried by taste never do. Meaning comes not from the food itself, but from the people and moments surrounding it. This corn soup cocktail is an acceptance of the ordinary, a memory carried forward, reinterpreted in liquid form, with the hope that it may become a memory of your own."
A limited-edition Campbell's Soup Cans cocktail debuts the first weekend of February at Narkara, a Northern and Northeastern Thai restaurant in New York's Union Square. The cocktail blends Abasolo whiskey, Nixta corn liqueur, dry curaçao, ghee-clarified butter and roasted corn. Bartender Kamalarat “Mimi” Kimmins created the drink, drawing inspiration from Andy Warhol’s soup can imagery and personal memories of corn soup. The debut is part of a one-night guest bartender pop-up on Feb. 1 presented with WAYD? (What Are You Drinking?), a Thai-led bar collective co-founded by Kimmins and Teddy Chantarasombat, featuring four exclusive cocktails.
