Signature drink

Also known as bebida signature · signature beverage · WBC signature

What it is and what sets it apart: Freedom of ingredients and concept under WCE rules sets it apart from more fixed espresso and milk courses.

At the bar: Lock concept → test ratios/textures → rehearse storytelling and timing → serve to rules.

Impact on the drink: Impact: differentiates the routine for judges; commercially can inspire seasonal specials if cost/speed allow.

Technical notes: Check current ingredient/alcohol limits. Time each stage. Log weights.

Common mistakes: Improvising on stage. Ignoring sensory balance. Confusing signature with free-pour latte art.
