History

The Chinese Bacardí Legacy 2013 winning cocktail created by Yao Zong "Foxyie" Huang at Bar The Soul in China.

As a birthday gift to my ex-girlfriend, I was inspired to create this cocktail to wish her happiness and fortune, the blessings represented in the traditional Chinese handicraft 'Ru-Yi Knot'. Bacardí Carta Blanca is the perfect base to blend all the ingredients together and bring out the unique flavour; I used homemade mint tea syrup, tomato juice, lemon juice and black pepper to represent the sweetness and bitterness of life. I hope everyone who tries this cocktail will not only be touched by its layered taste like a life story, but will also be blessed in the future.

I muddled 8 leaves of spearmint with English cucumber in 15 ml of 2:1 cane syrup. Organic tomato juice. Every other detail to spec. Interesting, rather tasty drink... The tomato and sugar add more to the texture of the drink rather than the taste. Much mint and cucumber, with a touch of the rum and a mildly earthy-fruity background. Not too reminiscent of a Bloody Mary... Definitely making this again. Maybe add a touch of hot sauce next time? (22 Jul 2023, 9:08a)
