Lunar New Year cocktails
Now that all the important family-related festivities are out of the way, it’s time to ring in the Year of the Horse with these limited time drinks. Kinsman is offering its alcoholic rendition on nian gao, the Neen Go-Lada, by using the Piña Colada as a template and combining black glutinous rice wine, dark rum, ginger liqueur, pumpkin spices, beetroot and coconut milk, garnished with a candied water chestnut.
Meanwhile, Sugar King has a full rotation of Lunar New Year-themed drinks on its menu. In true bodeguita fashion, Sugar King gives us the Fortune Daiquiri, which adds green Sichuan peppercorns, mandarin and lime to rum.
