Description

A toast is a brief moment when everything stops, and you celebrate what truly matters.

This year, we celebrate 120 years of Stumbras production in Kaunas — a story shaped by place, nature and local traditions.
 
It’s a celebration not only of time, but also of where it all began and the values that have been part of Stumbras production for 120 years.
 
This challenge is about creating a cocktail that brings it all together in one simple, meaningful toast.
