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.
