Nostalgic Drinks of Pakistan // پاکستان کے پرانی یادوں کے مشروبات
Editorial design; Pakistani culture; nostalgia
'Nostalgic Drinks of Pakistan' explores cultural memory through the lens of forgotten beverages, transforming personal recollections into collective storytelling. The publication prioritises authentic voices and shared experiences, featuring memories shared by Pakistanis at UAL and beyond. Rather than simply documenting drinks like Rooh Afza and falooda, the project becomes a vessel for diasporic nostalgia, where each beverage serves as an entry point into childhood memories and cultural belonging. The accessible writing style welcomes non-Pakistani readers into unfamiliar cultural territory.
The publication's strength lies in its community-driven content, where personal anecdotes—from post-prayer mango lassi drives to childhood Shezan spills—create emotional resonance beyond mere documentation. By positioning drinks as cultural touchstones rather than just refreshments, the work demonstrates how graphic design can facilitate cross-cultural understanding while preserving intimate memories. The project succeeds as both cultural education and nostalgic preservation. It fosters connection through shared experiences of taste, memory and home.
