NOTES:
Adapted from Bar Leone (Hong Kong)'s Giuseppe Lopez, originally built on Planteray 3 Stars Rum (41.2% ABV).
Choeng Doi Blanc's grassy funk holds its own against the coconut and pineapple rather than disappearing under them; volume bumped slightly from 45ml to 50ml to account for the ABV gap.
HISTORY
A savoury, vegetal take on the Piña Colada from Bar Leone (Hong Kong), rounded out with bell pepper juice and a single drop of sesame oil.
