The Coconut Watering Hole Has People Order a Drink with Emojis

— August 14, 2015 — Lifestyle
Drink brand 'Innocent' recently opened up a pop-up bar for a day with a unique premise—at the Coconut Watering Hole, patrons must order a drink using emojis.

The free pop-up bar took the form of a tiki-themed hut and offered a variety of coconut water-based mocktails, which could be ordered by using the right combination of hashtags and tropical-themed emojis when a photo of the pop-up was shared to social media. Considering that emojis are practically the language of Millennials and digital natives, this is a genius way to appeal to this demographic.

As well as being able to order a drink in a fun way at this Innocent pop-up bar, the branded bar also included stations where people could enjoy beauty treatments.
