The scenario takes you to meet the Ant, an inmate known as the king of escapes and a great lover of rum, who finds himself under the supervision of a cold, sarcastic warden and a more affable assistant warden. Sounds like a "good cop/bad cop" combo. In an epic that promises to be full of humor, but not only that, we're invited to taste some rather special soups dreamed up by this colorful character. On the program: an unusual tasting of a dozen cocktails and mocktails (it's also possible to make 100% alcohol-free cocktails).

So, are you ready to take on Perpette?
