Winner of the 2026 Wolfschmidt Kümmel Signature Serves Competition

The Ribbon

Created by Wiltons

The Ribbon was inspired by the idea of presenting Kümmel in a lighter, more seasonal way.

Traditionally associated with colder-weather drinking and digestifs, Wolfschmidt Kümmel has a distinctive caraway and anise character that can feel surprisingly fresh when paired with summer flavours. Strawberry gives the drink a soft seasonal opening, lime brings brightness, Noilly Prat adds dry aperitif structure, and cucumber gives a clean cooling finish.

The cucumber ribbon ties the drink together visually and aromatically: a simple garnish that reflects the fresh, elegant character of the serve.
