I have been in the FnB industry for years, researching about the ingredients that goods for health is my inspiration of creating cocktail. During covid-19 lockdown, I use my leisure time to go running and start using honey to improves my physical health.

When I joined a running race in Pleiku – a highland in Central Vietnam, I had the opportunity to experience the specialty wild-forest honey there.

Unlike farm-raised honey, the wild honey is harvested by highlanders in the Kon-Ka-Kinh – a National 418 square-kilometers primeval forest. To harvest the raw honey, highlanders have to spend a lot of time and even risking their life inside the forest to take the fragrant and fresh honey with typical characteristics of forest. This type of honey is 100% fresh and safe, without preservatives, so it has uniquely delicious tastes and amazing health benefits.

I started the project called "BEE GROWN UP" which aim to raise the awareness of using honey products, and also to support the local community in the central highland. I create a simple combination of Velvet Tamarind flower honey, Ketel One Vodka, Passionfruit acid, Banana liqueur, Yogurt and chocolate bitter. Then put this cocktail on my hive collective's special menu.

Besides, using this local honey and introduce it to the local and international Bartenders' community, I might help to open up opportunities to improve the living standard of highlander community in Pleiku by donating the proceeds from my cocktails to them.

With this project, I believe We can Grow Up together.
