Simple, boozy, earthy. Lovely sip. Bourbon’s my jam, and this drink was stellar. The honey added to the sweet notes of the bourbon, creating great vanilla & caramel notes.
Ginseng, being herbal, woody, and slightly bitter, brought balance and complexion to the drink. This is a great alternative to an Old Fashioned/Manhattan if you like a spirit-forward cocktail.
The Space
Down a tight alley with plenty of plants lives Asia Today Bar. This bar is incredibly small, managing to feel both cozy and lively.
There’s a giant marlin hanging from the ceiling, which I’m not sure the relevance of, but I did like. And like I said above, how cool are the coasters? I’ve never seen a bar do coasters like that. Fun touch.
My Verdict
6.3 / 10Taste
7.5 / 10Atmosphere
Taste reflects what I drank. Atmosphere reflects the bar experience.
