History
Singaporean Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail by Bannie Kang of Anti:dote in Singapore.
My summer: the feeling of my childhood in a drink. My paradise: sweet memories and the moments of happiness when we spent time together with family and friends. My hwa-chae: a legacy cocktail to bring people together using simple ingredients found around the world.
