My first drink, The Sun Also Rises #1926 ($17+), mixes curry leaf infused Bulldog gin with copra fat-washed applejack. While gin infusions aren't new to me (I loved this one btw), fat-washing is.

Fat-washing is a technique that infuses a fatty flavor into an alcohol. I'm not sure if you're supposed to taste the fats (in this case, coconut oil - I could only smell, not taste it), but I couldn't & I hope it stays that way. Because I am very fat-averse 😂

I liked the flavours of this cocktail. The well-balanced tartness & sweetness of the applejack was lovely. On top of this, the layered fragrance of the lime kaffir & sweet vermouth sous vide pandan leaves were somewhat comforting.

Before my drink even arrived, I was served a glass of cold water that was regularly topped up throughout my evening. As a perpetual thirsty hippo, I appreciated this so much. & the tidbits, dare I say, are very addictive.
